Connecting tangible and virtual objects in a Synthetic Prototyping Environment

At: University of Twente

In the Virtual Reality and Smart Industry Lab at the University of Twente, there is a project focussed on the interaction between tangible and virtual objects to help with decision making. This reseach is a part of that project, making a connection between tangible objects on a table and virtual objects, for example on a computer screen. Objects have a color code on top, that is recognised by a camera and software system. In this example the color codes represent a color, but for future use the blocks will represent machinery and other objects in the real world.
