smARTbox A Portable Setup for Intelligent Interactive Applications

This paper presents a semi-immersive, multimodal fish tank simulation realized using the smARTbox, an out-of-the-box platform for intelligent interactive applications. The smARTbox provides portability, stereoscopic visualization, marker-less user tracking and direct interscopic touch input. Off-the-shelf hardware is combined with a state-of-the-art simulation platform to assemble a powerful system environment, which facilitates direct (touch) and indirect (movement) interaction.
