In this paper we describe TANGerINE, a tangible tabletop environment in which users can interact with digital contents manipulating tangible smart objects. Such objects provide continuous data about their status through the embedded wireless sensors, while an overhead computer vision module tracks their position and orientation. Merging sensing data, the system is able to detect a richer language of gestures and manipulations both on the tabletop and in its surroundings, enabling for a more expressive interaction language across different contexts.
