Intermediate results of the EXAR project were demonstrated during the “Tag der Technik” in Düsseldorf on 17th and 18th June.

The setup involved a 3D TV, optical marker tracking, two real magnets and a PC. The users could watch the superposition of the two fields from magnets which they held in their hands.
