Mice and keyboards can en-hance tabletop technologies since they support high fidelity input, facilitate interaction with distant objects, and serve as a proxy for user identity and position. Interactive tabletops, in turn, can enhance the functionality of traditional input devices: they provide spatial sensing, augment devices with co-located visual content, and support connections among a plurality of devices. We introduce eight interaction techniques for a table with mice and keyboards, and we discuss the design space of such interactions.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/augmenting-interactive-tables-with-mice-keyboards/}, number = {MSR-TR-2009-71}, note = {To appear in the Proceedings of UIST 2009.}, }
