While information is a crucial part of people's everyday lives, many people find that access to information via today's technologies is awkward, stressful, and overly intrusive in their lives. The problem is not with the information itself, but rather with its volume and the unwieldy ways currently provided for interacting with digital content. My research focus is to create interactive information visualizations so that they support people's everyday work and social practices as they interact with information. In this paper I will provide an eclectic overview of my research, particularly featuring the research done by my PhD students.Keywords: information visualization, observational studies. Index Terms: H5.2 [Information interfaces and presentation]:User Interfaces -Interaction styles, Input devices and strategies. INTRODUCTIONI am amazed and deeply honoured to receive the Canadian Human-Computer Communication Society award. This is definitely a paper of thanks, and I have many people to thank -so many that it will not be possible to name them all here. For example, while academia is reportedly quite competitive, my experience has been that they have been welcoming and supportive. This has particularly included my home department, Computer Science at the University of Calgary, and the three nationwide research collectives I have been privileged to be a part of: NECTAR, GRAND, and Surfnet. It is also true of wonderful support and research exchange with SMART Technologiesparticularly Gerald Morrison, David Martin and Nancy Knowlton. However, even though these have been tremendously important, I would like to make this brief paper a celebration of those to whom I owe the most -my students.In the next section I will outline the research I have conducted with my research group -Innovations in Visualization (InnoVis). I will keep the words brief, and the images as plentiful as possible. In a paper of this length, I cannot possibly cover all the research we have conducted, nor mention all of my students. I have had to choose and have made eclectic selection. I have chosen some projects because they show our beginnings and others because they are more recent. Some projects were chosen because they represent what InnoVis is known for and others were chosen because they are less well known. Within this selection there is at least one project of all graduated PhD students. The students involved are featured with images and are named in captions. Post-doctoral fellows will be identified with PD and collaborators who are not my students will simply be listed as collaborators. INNOVIS RESEARCHMy research goal has always been to make information more accessible, more comprehensible, and more possible to make use of in our everyday lives. To this end, my research has encompassed new visual representations, and new explorations into interaction techniques. However, all of this has been grounded in careful, ethnographically-inspired observational studies. Since these studies have in many ways provided the foundations f...

“…In other work concerned with organization of items, storage bins support stacking of items to create groups that take less space on the surface [25]. Table trays are dynamically created around groups of items which then can be cut or copied onto the tray, moved, and pasted elsewhere on the surface [16].…”

Clipboards are omnipresent on today's personal computing platforms. They provide copy-and-paste functionalities that let users easily reorganize information and quickly transfer data across applications. In this work, we introduce personal clipboards to multi-user surfaces. Personal clipboards enable individual and independent copy-and-paste operations, in the presence of multiple users concurrently sharing the same direct-touch interface. As common surface computing platforms do not distinguish touch input of different users, we have developed clipboards that leverage complementary personalization strategies. Specifically, we have built a context menu clipboard based on implicit user identification of every touch, a clipboard based on personal subareas dynamically placed on the surface, and a handheld clipboard based on integration of personal devices for surface interaction. In a user study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of personal clipboards for shared surfaces, and show that different personalization strategies enable clipboards, albeit with different impacts on interaction characteristics.

“…This method of group selection and drag & drop style operations was also carried over to interactive surfaces. Examples for this can be found in research and practice [7,2] and are now supported by most non-commercial and commercial frameworks such as Surface SDK. Some innovative concepts based on containment are interaction techniques based on piles or multimodal selection and grouping based on gestures and speech [9].…”

In this paper we describe an experimental study investigating the use of bimanual and multi-finger input for grouping items spatially on a tabletop interface. In a singleuser setup, we compared two typical interaction techniques supporting this task. We studied the grouping and regrouping performance in general and the use of bimanual and multi-finger input in particular. Our results show that the traditional container concept may not be an adequate fit for interactive tabletops. Rather, we demonstrate that informal and organic spatial metaphors are able to harness more benefits of multi-finger and bimanual interaction. We conclude with recommendations for the design of grouping techniques on interactive surfaces.
