What do you think about these "under the table" fiducial trackers?

The major disadvantage is that the camera doesn’t see the same thing you see. I’ve found that one of the most meaningful uses of archive/card-based interfaces is the ability to make piles and stacks—you get a sense of tactile-3d that’s so sorely missing from our iPads. That won’t work as expected with an “under the table” approach. 

…but there are surely plenty of uses (like Shawn’s idea) for an under-the-table approach!
