The "Fischtisch" group

Fischtisch is an interactive table. The table top is made up of what might be termed individual pixels in the form of glass plates. Under each of these plates is an LED, the sum total of which constitutes a matrix.

This matrix is a communications organ: it enables the Fischtisch to see and to keep abreast of  developments in its environment via images. For communication to be possible, there has to be a sort of brain that transforms the registered impulses into reactions. This function is assumed by several microcontrollers inside the Fischtisch. They are aided by a program whose core element  is an adaptation of a relatively new measurement procedure designed to perceive touch. An additional programming challenge was the communication between the controllers and the control module connected to them. The interactive applications that run on the Fischtisch should be substantively related to typical table scenarios.
