Activities Distribution Around a Horizontal Interface Supporting Small Group Meetings

  • Conference paper
ICCS 2007

Abstract

In this paper, we present a preliminary field study aimed at investigating collaborative work activities supported by a horizontal interface. We analyzed the use of system by focusing on activities distribution and on coordination dynamics during actual meetings. The results have implications for the understanding of social dynamics occurring when groups of users explore horizontal displays.
