Abstract
This paper describes our design and implementation of an augmented table system for face-to-face meetings. The system was designed to be used by multiple users in the ubiquitous environment, where people do not need to bring their laptop PCs. With effective use of the advantage of computer vision, we implemented the concept of ubiquitous desktop as personal workspace and virtual Chinese table as shared workspace. User can share/personalize files by drag-and-dropping icons to/from the shared workspace. The system also provides capabilities for interactive image capturing and finger position sharing, both of which would be useful for the meetings.
