互動桌實驗
本次實驗將用動畫遊戲，並加上現在最流行的影像分析技術，進行一項有趣的小嘗試。

圖一:機臺概念圖，為投影機與影像分析機臺的組合

圖二：放上互動紙卡後，會投射出動畫與觸控區

圖三:互動紙卡因圖案不同而分析出不同效果

圖四:經由操作者的選取，將分析出不同指令，使動畫進行防禦或攻擊。

圖五：利用左手可以操作功能，右手來控制方向，便可以與其他人進行遊戲。

360度環景影像是視覺藝術圈近年來的重點話題之一，其實，它並不是遙不可及的高科技產品，在許多商業性質的展示中已經有部分的實例。但是，此技術所費不貲，因此藝術創作者若非得到強大的金援，事實上總是望洋興歎，只有看的份。

由在地實驗與藝術家李家祥合組的研發團隊，即在此一現況下，希望能開發出以目前市場價格1/4為目標的高品質產品，並在不久的將來能提供360環景實拍與重播的解決方案。
這是2008年底，團隊於台北數位藝術中心的實驗後台實景，基本上是以八個投影機組成的環景影音設置，已經能提供環景投影中最重要的「曲度調變」與「畫面融接」的基本功能。

The 360-degree panoramic round shot has becomes one of art community’s hottest topics in recent years. After a few glimpses of the actual product have been offered at numerous commercial expos, the public no longer considers it far-fetched technology. However, the technology is still far from affordable: Without depending on subsidies, the technology is effectively unavailable. Instead of putting it into practical use, the creative professionals end up admiring the technology from a distance.

To overcome such difficulty, Etat Lab (Etat Art & Culture Corporation) formed a R&D team with artist Chia-hsiang Lee to develop state-of-art technology, ¼ less than the current market price. The product will be the next solution for replay and the 360-degree round shot of the near future.

At the end of 2008, the team has set up an actual scene of the experimental back stage at the DAC. It comprises an surround audio-visual system of 8 projectors to provide the most critical but essential features: “Exposure Control” and “Image Stitching” for panoramic projection.
