Abstract

In order to generate a hybrid and ubiquitous approach to integrating multiple visualization modalities within spatial settings, it is essential to understand how small group users select and adapt technology and spatial settings to generate co-located visualization. Insights are needed to guide the design of spatial-visualization hybrid technologies that are ubiquitous, and user intuitive to adjustable to group size as scalable displays interfaces. This study examines the constructed visualization formats of small groups in a library learning commons to understand the visual and social affordances of group generated visualization formats.
