Observations of a Shared Tabletop User Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present observational user study findings of UbiTable, a multi-user interactive table top that provides walk-up wireless connections for multiple personal devices. UbiTable offers shared interactions that allow writing, annotating, drawing, copying, and the transferring of content amoung the tabletop and associated user devices. Out findings uncovered general design considerations and tradeoffs in the area of multi-user audio feedback, document ownership, and crossdevice document transfer in multi-device multi-user co-located computational environment.

Supporting Handoff in Tabletop Shared Workspaces
Handoff of objects and tools is a common action in face-toface collaborative work. Handoff is one of the low-level actions of collaboration that are smooth and natural in physical settings, but that are not usually considered in the design of digital workspaces. To better inform the design of these systems, we carried out a study that looked at the details of where and how handoff occurs in two...
متن کاملCoordination and Awareness in Remote Tabletop Collaboration
Remote collaboration technologies frequently provide a shared visual workspace of the task at hand, but often lack support for the visual cues and work practices of co-located collaboration. This is particularly acute in design tasks, in which the shared workspace is the focus of collaboration. Lately there has been growing interest in remote tabletop interfaces: large horizontal interactive su...
متن کاملA Framework for Bimanual Inter-Device Interactions
A shared interactive display (e.g., a tabletop) provides a large space for collaborative interactions. However, a public display lacks a private space for accessing sensitive information. On the other hand, a mobile device offers a private display and a variety of modalities for personal applications, but it is limited by a small screen. We have developed a framework that supports fluid and sea...
متن کاملReducing Clutter on Tabletop Groupware Systems with Tangible Drawers
Simultaneously presenting multiple users’ data on a single, shared display, such as an interactive tabletop, often results in visual clutter. One strategy to reduce clutter on horizontal surfaces in the physical world is to store objects in drawers. Items in drawers are hidden from view but are accessible when needed. Inspired by analogies with traditional desks and tables, we have developed ta...
متن کاملAnalyzing Multimodal Communication around a Shared Tabletop Display
Communication between people is inherently multimodal. People employ speech, facial expressions, eye gaze, and gesture, among other facilities, to support communication and cooperative activity. Complexity of communication increases when a person is without a modality such as hearing, often resulting in dependence on another person or an assistive device to facilitate communication. This paper ...
