“…Malone [8] has found that piles help people organize their work, remind people of work still to be done, and provide a cognitively light-weight mechanism for people to store items that are otherwise difficult to classify. Providing these benefits to tabletop collaborators could be achieved by allowing casual grouping of content and tools in the workspace and by providing simple mechanisms to move these groups around, such as the pile management tools developed by Bauer et al [2].…”

Researchers seeking alternatives to traditional desktop computers have begun exploring the potential collaborative benefits of digital tabletop displays. However, there are still many open issues related to the design of collaborative tabletop interfaces, such as whether these systems should automatically orient workspace items or enforce ownership of workspace content. Understanding the natural interaction practices that people use during tabletop collaboration with traditional media (e.g., pen and paper) can help to address these issues. Interfaces that are modeled on these practices will have the additional advantage of supporting the interaction skills people have developed over years of collaborating at traditional tables. To gain a deeper understanding of these interaction practices we conducted two observational studies of traditional tabletop collaboration in both casual and formal settings. Our results reveal that collaborators use three types of tabletop territories to help coordinate their interactions within the shared tabletop workspace: personal, group, and storage territories. Findings from a spatial analysis of collaborators' tabletop interactions reveal important properties of these tabletop territories. In order to provide a comprehensive picture of the role of tabletop territoriality in collaboration, we conclude with a synthesis of our findings and previous research findings and with several relevant design implications.

“…One consistent finding is that piling is a lightweight, casual activity, involving less overhead than filing. Concepts of piling on the desktop [21,4,2] and interactive tabletops [28,3] have been presented. Examination of the literature reveals no studies of space management and grouping on hybrid interactive surfaces.…”

Concurrent interaction with physical and digital media is ubiquitous in knowledge work. Although tabletop systems increasingly support activities involving both physical and digital media, patterns of use have not been systematically assessed. This paper contributes the results of a study of spatial usage patterns when physical and digital items are grouped and sorted on a tabletop work surface. In addition, analysis reveals a dual character of occlusion, involving both inconvenient and desirable aspects. We conclude with design implications for hybrid tabletop systems.

“…For example, stored items could be arranged in a grid formation, potentially ordered by some criteria, such as the date of a photo [1] or by how recently an item was stored. Alternatively, an automatic spacing algorithm could be used to spread the pile based on the size of the storage bin.…”

Casual piling of paper-based media during traditional tabletop collaboration is an important practice that helps coordinate task and group interactions. Previous research has shown that the ability to move piles around on a table plays a critical role in accessing and sharing task resources. However, existing casual storage techniques for digital workspaces only provide access to stored items at the periphery of the workspace, potentially compromising collaborative interactions at a digital tabletop display. To address this issue, we introduce storage bins, a mobile storage mechanism that enables access to stored items anywhere in the workspace.We also present an exploratory user study involving the use of mobile and peripheral storage mechanisms on a large, hi-resolution collaborative tabletop display. Findings from this study demonstrate the utility of storage bins and further our understanding of the impact of mobile and peripheral storage mechanisms on collaboration at a tabletop display.
