"Tablescape Plus" is an interactive tabletop video theater. Different images are projected onto the respective tiny screens placed upright on the table. As the user moves the screens, the images change. Moreover, users can develop new stories by changing the arrangement of the screens. For example, when the screens are placed side-by-side, the images on the respective screens react to one another. Users can be involved in the world of these tiny imageries, which is like a living miniature garden.
