This is probably one of the best concepts I’ve seen recently for interactive tabletops. Tangible controls/widgets that can be controlled by magnets to self switch and move across the table. There is also a very interesting approach for redirecting IR light around the magnets so the cameras can pick up the widgets’ presence. Check out the video below to see them in action.
