Abstract
We present a system of the passive magnetic tangible designs that enables 3D tangible interactions above the portable displays. When a thin magnetic sensor grid is attached to the back of the display, the 3D position and partial 3D orientation of the magnetic tangibles, GaussBits, can be resolved by the proposed bi-polar magnetic field tracking technique. The occlusion-free properties of this tracking method also enrich the design of tangible interactions.
