TOOLS
FOR GUIDING
The round
table
A tool for
supporting event management in electronic arenas, the
Round Table is a system for the deployment of virtual
cameras in a potentially large-scale environment with
many participants. The activity of the participants
guides the placing, direction and control of the views
made available for broadcast or other forms of distribution.
A round table
with a projection screen in the centre is used to display
a map of the electronic arena. The image on the screen
is rear-projected from beneath. Physical objects are
placed on the tabletop and tracked with a vision-based
analysis system to deploy and select cameras, to zoom
the display and to control other operations.
