Magic Table is a virtual reality system that can transform objects using visuo-haptic redirected walking techniques. It can transform a square table into an equilateral triangle or a regular pentagon table. By using rotational manipulation and body warping techniques, this system can change the shape of the table. Participants can check the change in the shape by touching the edge of the table while walking around it.
