“…Fingers give a touch point with an associated area, rather than a single point on the surface (Esenther and Ryall 2006a;Shen et al 2009) and control when enlarging objects in overlapping spaces can be a problem . This means that errors in the accuracy of selection can be considerably higher in direct-touch interfaces than traditional mouse input (Forlines et al 2007;Voida et al 2009). This suggests that these kind of multi-touch surfaces will support collaboration, but not where a high degree of precision is required in the tasks or activities.…”

This article reviews the research and evidence about multi-touch tables to provide an analysis of their key design features and capabilities and how these might relate to their use in educational settings to support collaborative learning. A typology of design features is proposed as a synthesis of the hardware and physical characteristics of the tables so that the longevity of these factors and the associated analysis can be better preserved, particularly in relation to the range of ways in which they may be used collaboratively in classrooms. The variability of features relating to software is also analysed and key pedagogic issues identified. The aim that underpins this review is to relate the design of the technical features with key pedagogic issues concerning the use of digital technologies in classrooms, so as to provide a more robust basis for their integration in classrooms in terms of their potential to support or to improve learning.

“…It is not clear, however, whether it improves performance. I-Loupe [22] is a lens based interface and allows definition of a focus region and a magnified visualization of this area. Although not addressed by the authors it would conceptually be possible to use more than one i-Loupe simultaneously.…”

Many tasks performed in multiscale visual spaces require the user to have several foci. Using bimanual interaction, multitouch devices can facilitate the simultaneous definition and exploration of several foci. However, multitouch is rarely used for multifocus navigation, and may limit the interaction to a sequential definition of areas of interest. We introduce two novel navigation techniques that combine multiple foci and bimanual touch, and therefore enable the isochronic definition of areas of interest, leading to simultaneous multifocus navigation. SpaceFold folds the visual space in the third dimension, allowing users to bring objects closer to each other. Our technique enables a direct, bimanual manipulation of a folded space and therefore provides high flexibility. PhysicLenses uses multiple magnification lenses to compare objects. Using a physics model, PhysicLenses introduces a general solution for the arrangement of multiple lenses within the viewport. We conducted a controlled experiment with 24 participants to compare the techniques with split screen. The results show that SpaceFold significantly outperformed all other techniques, whereas PhysicLenses was just as fast as split screen.

“…The research literature related to MDEs provides studies for interaction techniques [5,13,19,22,28], interaction metaphors and gestures [23,24,27], or example applications [7,17,26]. However, no work has yet considered the requirements and challenges on appropriate application frameworks.…”

“…A quite challenging example for an MDE application is to establish wireless video portals between devices which is the primary application domain of this work, see Figure 1. Portals replicate part of a large workspace to the smaller workspace on a mobile device at hand, for instance to enable a world-inminiature view [7], to create a virtual loupe [26], to enable collaborative visual exploration [17], or, more general, as an extension in collaborative interactive spaces [1,8,13]. These recent research efforts indicate a growing interest of the HCI community in real-time video portals for interactive spaces or appropriate interaction techniques, which essentially require applicable and scalable MDE and portal realizations for todays mobile devices.…”

Advances in multi-touch enabled interactive tabletops led to many commercially available products and were increasingly deployed at places beyond research labs, for example at exhibitions, retail stores, or showrooms. At the same time, small multi-touch devices, such as tablets or smartphones, became prevalent in our daily life. When considering both trends, occasions and scenarios where tabletop systems and mobile devices form a coupled interaction space are expected to become increasingly widespread. However, application development or research prototypes for those environments will foreseeable require considerable resources when considering nowadays heterogeneity of device platforms and the functionality to establish a connected interaction space. To address these concerns, this paper discusses challenges and answers questions that arose during design and implementation of the Environs framework, a multidisplay environment software framework that eases development of interactive distributed applications. In particular, Environs enables applications utilizing video portals that put high requirements on responsiveness and latency.
