چکیده
Copyright is held by the authors. This paper was published in the Proceedings of the Workshop on Collaboration Meets Interactive Surfaces: Walls, Tables, Tablets and Phones (CMIS) at the ACM International Conference on Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces (ITS), October, 2014. Dresden, Germany. Abstract We are interested in the influence that specific social contexts have on tabletop territorial behaviour. To study this, we observed use of the collaborative educational simulation application SimMed by students and experienced doctors. In this particular setting, we found very little evidence of territorial behaviour. We report on the results of the study, examine possible causes for the absence of territories and discuss potential implications for application design.

Theory of Tabletop Territoriality
This chapter discusses empirical and theoretical investigations of the practice of tabletop territoriality in order to understand how to exploit such social interaction practices that people have developed over years of collaborating in traditional tabletop environments in the design of digital tabletops. These investigations reveal that collaborators at traditional tabletop workspaces use thre...
متن کاملTerritory-Based Interaction Techniques for Tabletop Collaboration
For over hundreds of years people have been gathering around tables for the purposes of eating, conversing, working, and entertaining. Co-located collaboration researchers exploring alternatives to traditional “desktop” computers are beginning to exploit the benefits that this familiar environment appears to have for facilitating social interactions. Studies of tabletop collaboration involving ...
متن کاملHorizontal Interactive Surfaces in Distributed Assemblies
In recent years we have seen a huge growth of interest in tabletop research and technologies. Apart from the increasing research into underlying hardware technologies and interaction mechanisms, there has also been a significant interest in the dynamics of collaboration that happens “on” and “around” interactive tabletop surfaces. Most of this work has focussed on collocated interaction, explor...
متن کاملDesigning Co-located Tabletop Interaction for Rehabilitation of Brain Injury
This paper surveys emerging design research on co-located group interaction with tabletop displays as an approach toward developing an upperlimb movement rehabilitation system for acquired brain injury (ABI). Traditional approaches and newer virtual reality interventions for physical therapy tend to focus on individuals interacting one-on-one with a therapist in a clinical space – this is both ...
متن کاملAn Examination of the Effect of Social dimensions on Peoples’ use of Urban Public Spaces (Case study: Chamran Recreational Site of Shiraz Located Between Shahidan Sheikhi and Niayesh Bridge)
Space and society are clearly interrelated in such a way that conceiving of the former without the latter as well as understanding society without its spatial components is impossible. Public urban spaces provide the grounds for citizens' social interactions and communication. More importantly, active presence of people in these areas promotes levels of social interaction, sense of cooperation ...
