This was an interactive environment offering puzzles to be solved using a Tangible User Interface (TUI, or Surface Computer) and Augmented Reality (AR) technology. Physical objects representing Ages and Elements tell stories when drawn near each other--each story leaving clues to aid in the solving of puzzles. Puzzles in Augmented Reality are solved by interacting with both real and virtual objects interweaved together through the use of a "magic window" visualization tool called The Oracle. 2006.
