Abstract

In this paper our VideoTable and VideoCards. The VideoTable is an augmented meeting table enabling collaborative exploration of video material through a multi-user tangible interface. The VideoCards are paper card representations of video snippets. Playback of video is initiated by a pushbutton permanently attached to a VideoCard. VideoCards can be manipulated alongside other physical design artifacts present on the VideoTable. Preliminary observations of use indicate that the physical ebmodiment of digital video provided by our VideoCards enables the seamless mix of video with other physical design artifacts that we are aiming for. Our implementation is based on modified passive Radio Frequency Identificaton (RFID) tags.
