“…This contrast is even more surprising as our size difference is much larger (27" against 69.5") than that of Anslow/Wong (27" against 40"). So we assume that the difference hinges on their specific scenario but we conclude that a larger display has no general disadvantages in terms of performance but certainly in terms of fatigue [1].…”

Touch-sensitive surfaces are already a standard form of interaction. These surfaces come in many different sizes like tablets or touch walls. However, there is little research to characterize the impact of surface size on touch performance. We conducted a Fitts' Law study of three display sizes (13.5" tablet, 28" monitor, 69.5" large monitor), comparing various performance measures. We found that the smallest size (13.5") is problematic both objectively (high error rate) and subjectively (imprecise, difficult-to-use). In contrast, both the medium (28") and the large display (69.5") perform equally well. However, small displays allow for greater interaction speed compared to very large screens. Our results can help interaction designers and automatic algorithms to optimize current and future touch devices.

“…[22] comparing vertical and horizontal multi-touch displays found that the horizontal surface encouraged more equal physical interactions among participants with the shared display, as well as equal verbal participation, which differs from Rogers and Lindley's study. Al-Megren et al also showed that the vertical configuration was more likely to cause muscle fatigue comparing to the horizontal configuration [2].…”

“…On the other hand, vertical surfaces seem better suited to cooperative situations in which one person drives an activity and distributes tasks to others. Therefore, we suggest choosing a horizontal surface for activities that require equal participation, such as collaborative learning where participants have to acquire the same skills and knowledge [2]. We suggest using a vertical surface for the activities where one person takes control.…”

Defining the form factor and setup of surfaces, i.e., their size, position, and orientation, is one of the first decisions made when designing multisurface environments (MSE). To support these choices, we conducted a study on how the orientation of a large display used alongside tablets impacts collaboration. Previous research involving only one interactive surface shows that display orientation changes how people interact with the display, the way they position themselves, or look at each other. Our study shows that in a MSE setting, the orientation of a large surface has a different impact: (1) it nuances previous results showing that horizontal surfaces are better for collaboration. (2) it impacts the way activities are conducted. The horizontal condition leads to more implicit coordination and balanced interaction with the large display, but to less structured work, while in the vertical condition, group coordination is more explicit and is structured around one main interactor. Compared to previous work, we also propose a more structured, comprehensive and detailed analysis grid for collaboration in MSE. Finally, based on our results, we derive recommendations for MSE design.

Multi-touch wall-sized displays afford collaborative exploration of large datasets and re-organization of digital content. However, standard touch interactions, such as dragging to move content, do not scale well to large surfaces and were not designed to support collaboration, such as passing an object around. This paper introduces CoReach, a set of collaborative gestures that combine input from multiple users in order to manipulate content, facilitate data exchange and support communication. We conducted an observational study to inform the design of CoReach, and a controlled study showing that it reduced physical fatigue and facilitated collaboration when compared with traditional multi-touch gestures. A final study assessed the value of also allowing input through a handheld tablet to manipulate content from a distance.
