Ein neuartiges horizontales Ausgabegerät für Virtuelle Welten

The new table like output device was especially developed for application which are usually performed at workbenches. Due to the presentaiton of real or computer-generated images on a horizontal screen, a natural working environment is established. Especially in the field of construction, architecture and medicine an interaction with a horizontal output device offers new and intuitive interaction possibilities. The virtual table supports specific techniques for visualisation, interaction and co-operative work. The different facilities are demonstrated within a number of potential application fields. The innovative output device opens a variety of applications which are described within this paper.
