“…As observed by Rogers and Rodden, this is not due to any inherent fault of large displays, but is due to the limitations of current hardware [22]. In anticipation of better hardware, we should strive to establish effective interaction approaches, so that when these systems are widely deployed users can immediately gain full benefit.…”

We examine the design space of interaction techniques for very large wall displays by drawing from existing theory and practice for reality-based interfaces and whole-body interfaces. We also apply insights drawn from research in psychology about the human cognitive mechanisms that support sensorimotor operations in different coordinate spaces, as well as research in sociology examining how people manage coordination and privacy concerns in these spaces. Using guidelines obtained from these analyses, we designed and implemented a novel suite of body-centric interaction techniques. These were integrated into a map browsing and editing application for a very large (5m×3m) wall display. The application was then used to gather user feedback to guide the further development of the interaction techniques.

“…The distinction between space and place has influenced the way that collaborative and interactive technological systems or augmented environments are envisaged and designed [15,47]. It implies considering the cultural meanings conveyed by a system or an environment, besides its spatial features.…”

Human experience of physical space and places is a complex phenomenon that includes geographical and sensorial, as well as more social and interpersonal dimensions. We investigate theoretical insights from computing research and environmental psychology on space and place to determine the different dimensions of the experience of physical space. Empirical results from a case study on creative activities for environment exploration are also presented. We indicate five dimensions that encompass the different ways of apprehending our environment, as well as the emotional relationships we develop toward it through personal and interpersonal experiences-in-place. To us, technology should be examined in terms of its potentiality for supporting rich experiences of and in physical space. We assume that the identified dimensions can serve as basis for the development of technological tools to be used in that perspective.

“…Technologies such as SMART boards, plasma screens, and projected wall displays all have been studied in order to better understand how to design them to support collaborative interaction [7]. Several different tabletop systems have also been developed to support multi-user interaction that facilitates collaboration (e.g.…”

Abstract. Digital tabletop surfaces afford multiple user interaction and collaboration. Hybrid tabletops that include both tangible and multi-touch elements are increasingly being deployed in public settings (e.g. Microsoft Surface, reacTable). Designers need to understand how the different characteristics of tangible and multi-touch interface elements affect collaborative activity on tabletops. In this paper, we report on a mixed methods exploratory study of a collaborative tabletop game about sustainable development. We explore the effects of tangible and multi-touch tools on collaborative activity. Forty-five participants, in trios, played the game using both versions of the tools. Our analysis includes quantitative performance measures, qualitative themes and behavioral measures. Findings suggest that both tangible and multi-touch tools enabled effective tool use and that collaborative activity was more influenced by group dynamics than tool modality. However, we observed that the physicality of the tangible tools facilitated individual ownership and announcement of tool use, which in turn supported group and tool awareness.
