Designing Tabletop Groupware

Meredith Ringel Morris

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Interactive tables are an emerging class of devices that are subject to different design constraints than other types of single display groupware. Through prototype-building and evaluation, we have identified three key design challenges for tabletop groupware: integrating access to public and private information, managing display elements, and mediating group dynamics. We discuss each of these issues and present approaches we have developed to address the challenges they present. ACM Classification: H5.3 [Information interfaces and presentation]: Group and Organization Interfaces computer-supported cooperative work. General terms: Design, Human Factors, Experimentation
