Abstract

We present a method for dynamic manipulation and interchanging of tangible objects in a spatial augmented reality environment for use in rapid prototyping. We call this method MagManipulation. This method improves on existing methods in several ways: allows for the use of abstract and non-uniform curves, allows for ease of manipulation on non-tabletop like surfaces, allows for interchangeable tangible objects to be used. Our method allows us to dynamically manipulate tangible objects in a TSAR environment in a manner unattainable with current technologies.
