Multi-touch 3D interactive table makes 3D contents touchable


3D displays, TVs and computers have flooded the market recently. You’ve probably tried, been watching 3D movies and wearing 3D glasses. But you should have never imagined that 3D images were touchable. Yes, 3D images have been made possible for touching, by using the 3D interactive table-top display, a product of the French company called Immersion.

The Immersion multi-touch 3D interactive table was displayed last week at SIGGRAPH computer graphics and animation conference in LA. This 3D table also needs you to wear polarized (active shutter) glasses for best experience.

The best of this 3D interactive table is its ability to provide the same quality while two different persons watching the contents from different sides of the table. Thanks to the connection of the glasses to the position and orientation sensors, which tracks the wearer’s sight and alters images in real time to match onlooker’s perspective.

This 3D interactive table has multi-touch capability, allowing users to touch it, zoom in or rotate the content without breaking the 3D illusion. Watch the clip below for the 3D table in action.
