Abstract

Motion graphics in general is played on a screen. The technology of a sensing table brings this on a table. Mouse pointing on a monitor is changed to cup-shaped pointing devices on a table and the table detects the positions of the cups. According to the movements of the cups, particle animations and sounds are generated on the table. The Harmonics Table is a system which a group of users can experience a harmonized audiovisual expression. This paper introduces an application of interactive motion graphics on the Harmonics Table and describes how a group of users enjoy it in a real life situation.
