Annotation	What if the surfaces of your immediate environment react to your actions? Interactive surfaces is a concept of merging real and digital worlds on everyday surfaces. Many existing works have applied body worn sensors to detect users' touch actions and projectors to provide visual feedback on surfaces. However, several technical issues remain to be solved for better user experiences. First, body attached sensors generally bother users, and false detections inevitably disturb their natural interactions. Second, low image quality of projection images such as low dynamic range, defocus and shadow decrease the quality of visual augmentations. This talk will give several concepts and implementations of our ProCams (projector-camera systems) techniques solving these issues. We proposed a thermography-based touch detection technique which requires no user-worn sensors. Our shadow-based interaction technique realizes an interactive surface without any detection processes. Our proposed multi-projector techniques provide high dynamic range representations, and shadow- and defocus-free augmentations.
