The atracTable, recently presented by Sony and atracsys at the Vision show in Stuttgart, is the combination of a video-based movements tracking system, a computer, a beamer, and a screen. When an object is placed on the screen, the tracking system recognizes it thanks to a visual tracking tag on the base of the product. At the same time, the tracking system detects the positions and movements of the users' fingers and the objects on the screen. All the information concerning the location of the product(s) and the different movements of the fingers are sent to the computer.
