Abstract

A hybrid computing environment is described that uses small computing devices, such as PDAs (Personal Data Assistants), and a "computerized table". 3D sensors are installed in the environment and also attached to the user's PDA, so that the PDA can act as a flexible interaction device for the computerized table. The user can transfer data between the PDA and computerized table by using a specific operation on his/her PDA, and use new interaction techniques, such as scoop-and-spread. The user can also grab and move an object on the table by using the PDA.
