Paper Abstract:
|
Multi-touch interfaces and tabletop computing have seen an increase in research effort in the last few years. This paper presents a tabletop gaming framework which provides multi-touch input, gesture recognition and easy to use Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for game development. The system also tracks and controls small robots, augmenting the game play, and allowing for a richer player experience. As proof-of-concept applications we introduce TouchPong, a tabletop adaptation of the classic Pong, and RoboPong, a game where the players program robots to play against each other. |
