“Responsive Workbench” by Wolfgang Krüger received a Honorary Mention in the Interactive Art category of the Prix Ars Electronica 1994.
Virtual objects and control tools are located on a real 'workbench' (fig. 1). The objects, displayed as computer-generated stereo-images are projected onto the surface of the workbench. This setting corresponds to the actual work situation m an architect's office, in surgery environments, etc.
