The pervasive virtual world is becoming an important

The pervasive virtual world is becoming an important part
of our lives. Unfortunately, we are only able to look at
information in books or on computer monitors. Computers,
projectors and video cameras have become sufficiently
affordable to allow for vision recognition and projection on
all the available surfaces of a space. These systems can
improve productivity and reduce the need for books and
portable computers, as well as allowing for more free space.
All five of the interfaces discussed were presented at the
Things That Think consortium meeting at the MIT Media
Laboratory in October 2003.
These interfaces stand to be considerably improved.
Information Table currently has only two modes:
countertop and dining table. Considering the numerous
functions possible on a work surface in a kitchen, the
system can only gain richness by being conceived for
additional uses.
