Abstract
In this paper Interactive Multimedia Tabletops are introduced, commonly denoted as tabletops. This natural Human Computer Interface uses the analogy of a conventional table, in order to permit collaborative work in the same physical space. Software applications for tabletops target two very different kind of scenarios and users. On one hand simple tasks oriented to casual users, and on the other hand more complex tasks oriented to professional environments. This paper focuses on tabletops designed for casual users from the physical aspect to the software applications.
