PSyBench

PSyBench is a general platform
for creating distributed Tangible Interfaces for collaborative design. Objects on an augmented tabletop are physically synchronized with identical objects
on a remote table, allowing distant users to cooperatively manipulate a shared
physical space.

PSyBench is a part of the “Tangible Copresence” project which enhances distributed
collaboration and communication based on the idea of Tangible Interfaces. The
key concept is “Synchronized Distributed Physical Objects.”
