exTouch: spatially-aware embodied manipulation of actuated objects mediated by augmented reality
Shunichi Kasahara, Ryuma Niiyama, Valentin Heun and Hiroshi Ishii / MIT media lab 2012

exTouch is a novel embodied spatially-aware interface system to manipulate actuated objects mediated by augmented reality. The “exTouch” system extends the users touchscreen interactions into the real world by enabling spatial control over the actuated object. When users touch a device shown in live video on the screen, they can change its position and orientation through multi-touch gestures or by physically moving the screen in relation to the controlled object.
