They turn a table into an augmented reality screen by combining 3D Kinect and PlayStation Eye

A member of the NUI Group forums user community, Bastian Broecker, Kinect has been combined, an infrared laser and the PlayStation Eye with face tracking software to transform an ordinary table into a three-dimensional augmented reality one.

Bastian Broecker has developed an interactive table that combines the Kinect of Microsoft next to the PlayStation Eye camera. The project aims to convert a flat surface, like that of a table, in an augmented reality application interaction interface, that is to say, combining real images of our environment with artificial images. to get it, a projector has been used, a Kinect, a PlayStation Eye camera, four infrared lasers, a mirror, a glass and a computer to obtain a surface on which to project an image and interact with it by touching the same projection surface.

The projector is located just below the table and the beam of projected light is reflected on a mirror arranged at an angle of inclination such that the beam bounces off the glass of the table.. Right next to the projector is the PlayStation Eye camera whose mission will be to follow the movements of the hands and fingers of the user who is operating the screen and, to obtain greater precision, Capturing position and movement is supported by 4 infrared lasers that are distributed across the four corners of the table. Kinect is responsible for controlling the location of the user's head so that the image projected on the screen always adapts to their point of view so that if the user moves their head, The system will move the image so that the user does not perceive a difference when changing position and emulates a 3D projection.
