Configuring Spaces and Surfaces to Support Collaborative Interactions

  • Chapter
Public and Situated Displays

Abstract

This chapter explore how new kinds of displays can be developed to enable collaborative interactions. The chapter explores the research issues surrounding the development of a range of different display systems before focusing on the physical affordances of different display arrangements. In order to this we classify existing systems into three main types before providing detailed discussions of research prototypes drawn from our own work.
