Introduction

Hi, my name's Mark. I’ve set up this blog to document my experiments with the TrackMate system. TrackMate is open source software which can track the movement of specially designed tags over a surface, using commodity consumer webcams. This allows us to create tangible user interfaces which can recognise the positions of physical objects.

I'll be keeping a diary of my attempts to build and develop an interactive table; both the hardware (consisting of computer, webcams, lighting and the physical table itself) and the software to allow it to perform various functions.
