AbstractThis article describes a design and implementation of an augmented desk system, named EnhancedDesk, which smoothly integrates paper and digital information on a desk. The system provides users an intelligent environment that automatically retrieves and displays digital information corresponding to the real objects (e.g., books) on the desk by using computer vision. The system also provides users direct manipulation of digital information by using the users' own hands and fingers for more natural and more intuitive interaction. Based on the experiments with our first prototype system, some critical issues on augmented desk systems were identified when trying to pursue rapid and fine recognition of hands and fingers. To overcome these issues, we developed a novel method for realtime finger tracking on an augmented desk system by introducing a infrared camera, pattern matching with normalized correlation, and a pan-tilt camera. We then show an interface prototype on EnhancedDesk. It is an application to a computer-supported learning environment, named Interactive Textbook. The system shows how effective the integration of paper and digital information is and how natural and intuitive direct manipulation of digital information with users' hands and fingers is.
