Recent developments in the eld of semi-immersive display technologies provide
new possibilities for engaging users in interactive three-dimensional virtual environments
(VEs). For instance, combining low-cost tracking systems (such as the Microsoft Kinect) and
multi-touch interfaces enables inexpensive and easily maintainable interactive setups. The
goal of this work is to bring together virtual as well as real objects on a stereoscopic multitouch
enabled tabletop surface. Therefore, we present a prototypical implementation of such
a mixed reality (MR) space for tangible interaction by extending the smARTbox FLBS12.
The smARTbox is a responsive touch-enabled stereoscopic out-of-the-box system that is able
to track users and objects above as well as on the surface. We describe the prototypical hardand
software setup which extends this setup to a MR space, and highlight design challenges
for the several application examples.
