Abstract

Co-Interactive Table is a client-server system designed to facilitate collaborative tasks in any kind of meeting such as sharing information and files among the participants using simple, natural and intuitive gestures. We have used technology based on mobile devices and RFID to implement the system. The system is composed of panels (one per user) forming the interactive table. A projector connected to a PC updates instantly the information generated in the meeting such as notes, ideas and the specific information of each participant. All devices used in the meeting room are connected via Wi-Fi to the Co-Interactive Table server. This server is responsible for providing important web services that coordinate and control the system performance. Besides, the system offers the possibility of performing remote meetings without losing functionality. The Co-interactive table client application runs on mobile devices with RFID reader. The system can recognize the service required by the user with a gesture as simple and natural as bringing the mobile device near the interactive table to select the desired action.
