While many interesting gestural interaction techniques have been proposed, their design has been mostly ad-hoc and has not been presented within a constructive design framework. In this paper, we develop and articulate a set of design principles for constructing - in a systematic and extensible manner - multi-hand gestures on touch surfaces that can sense multiple points and shapes, and can also accommodate conventional point-based input. To illustrate the generality of these design principles, a set of bimanual continuous gestures that embody these principles are developed and explored within a prototype tabletop publishing application. We carried out a user evaluation to assess the usability of these gestures and use the results and observations to suggest future design guidelines.","PeriodicalId":135767,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Horizontal Interactive Human-Computer Systems (TABLETOP '06)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117315351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new organization challenges the traditional strong collaborative practices of designers. The meeting spaces must support a variety of intermediary objects that make the traditional tools, such as whiteboards, inappropriate, especially for distributed teams, and call for more relevant artifacts. Based on a distributed learning project, we investigated the use of augmented tabletops as practical surfaces to share information during distributed design working sessions. In this empirical study, we describe the specifications and functionalities of the AugmenTables prototypes designed by the student teams. This paper then evaluates the technical and social impact of augmented tabletops during virtual meetings and especially informal design reviews.","PeriodicalId":135767,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Horizontal Interactive Human-Computer Systems (TABLETOP '06)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131599699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One application enabled by this new technology is copresent, collaborative search for digital content. For example, a group of students could sit around an interactive table and search for digital images to use in a report. We have developed TeamSearch, an application that enables this type of activity by supporting group specification of Boolean style queries. We explore whether TeamSearch should consider all group members' activities as contributing to a single query or should interpret them as separate, parallel search requests. The results reveal that both strategies are similarly efficient, but that collective query formation has advantages in terms of enhancing group collaboration and awareness, allowing users to bootstrap query specification skills, and personal preference. This suggests that team centric ills may offer benefits beyond the \"staples\" of efficiency and result quality that are usually considered when designing search interfaces.","PeriodicalId":135767,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Horizontal Interactive Human-Computer Systems (TABLETOP '06)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125456986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It gives a new way for them to get together with family members, relatives and old friends who are living at distant locations. All the participants show up on the screen in front of each participant in the form of avatars and share a common virtual place through the Internet. By the system, they can play games, watch pictures and videos together with other participants. They may even sing together. The system is designed putting more emphasis to the pleasant atmosphere of being together rather than mimicking a real meeting. Plural tabletop devices are used for the participants at distant locations to input data to manipulate their avatars and move the objects in the virtual place. As those tabletop devices collect data by simply touching and dragging apart of the projection image on top, the burdens of the aged users are greatly eased by this scheme.","PeriodicalId":135767,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Horizontal Interactive Human-Computer Systems (TABLETOP '06)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123736427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
