ABSTRACT
Tabletop displays have been used to share information among multiple users. However, there are two problems with current tabletop displays: The display area is limited to horizontal surfaces, and there is a lack of view-dependent appearance regarding displayed images. The aim of this paper is to overcome these limitations by adding dual-sided vertical mid-air images to a horizontal surface for a richer and more impressive visual presentation. For this purpose, we introduce a plate-shaped mid-air imaging optics as a tabletop surface and a diffusion control film for the projection of horizontal images. The proposed system, "HoVerTable," can display a combination of horizontal and vertical images for users facing each other. We have developed interactive applications on HoVerTable, including a card battle game and an application for the augmentation of physical objects.

SA '19: SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Emerging TechnologiesPortOn is a portable optical system that can form mid-air images that stand on a glossy surface such as a table or the floor. PortOn is composed of micro-mirror array plates (MMAPs), an image light source, a mirror, and polarizing elements. PortOn ...
EnchanTable: Displaying a Vertically Standing Mid-air Image on a Table Surface using Reflection
ITS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Interactive Tabletops & SurfacesWe propose a novel display method, EnchanTable, that can augment a table surface with mid-air images. Users can interact with visual images displayed on the table by using real objects. In our optical design, we place an optical imaging device behind a ...
