Abstract
The Virtual Table presents stereoscopic graphics to a user
in a workbench-like setting. This paper reports on a user interface and new
interaction techniques for the Virtual Table based on transparent props?a
tracked hand-held pen and a pad. These props, but in particular the pad,
are augmented with 3D graphics from the Virtual Table?s display. This
configuration creates a very powerful and flexible interface for two-handed
interaction that can be applied to other back-projected stereographic
displays as well: the pad can serve as a palette for tools and controls as
well as a window-like see-through interface, a plane-shaped and
through-the-plane tool, supporting a variety of new interaction techniques.
