Abstract

IncreTable is a mixed-reality tabletop game inspired by The Incredible Machine. Users can combine real and virtual game pieces in order to solve puzzles in the game. Game actions include placing virtual domino blocks with digital pens, controlling a virtual car by modifying the virtual terrain through a depth camera interface, and controlling real robots to topple over real and virtual dominoes.
