Acknowledgements

We would like to thank Dr Steven Zhou, our tutor and director of IML, for broadening our horizons on media technologies and giving us the opportunity to work on the tabletop project. He has given us valuable feedback and prompt guidance during the development of our project.

We would also like to show our gratitude to Wei Dong and Wei Quan, graduate students at IML, for their help, support and advices during the semester.
