...ibution comes with a sample application called HiNote that demonstrates some of the basic features. In addition, we are currently building two other applications. The first is a new version of KidPad =-=[9, 11]-=- that provides collaborative storytelling tools for children, available at http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/kidpad. The second is an authoring tool for creating presentations. The authoring tool builds on o...

...nd on top of the table (Rekimoto and Saitoh, 1999). In Pebbles, PDA’s can be used as input devices to control information displayed on a wall-mounted electronic board (Myers et al., 1998). In Kidpad (=-=Benford et al., 2000-=-), graphics objects, which are displayed on a single screen, can be manipulated with a varying number of mice. These examples show that the platform is not limited to a single personal computer. Inste...

... shared applications. Early examples include Cognoter [6] and MMM [2]. More recently, the Pebbles system [15] has explored how PDAs can provide concurrent input to a shared display. Similarly, Kidpad =-=[1]-=- supports multi-mice input with a view to promoting collaboration within the classroom. Multi-screen systems extend the capabilities of large screens by considering how other displays can be incorpora...

...y this we mean something that could begin to help us get a feel for some of the ideas that had emerged in our previous design sessions. For this we used KidPad, a zoomable authoring tool for children =-=[4, 8]. The -=-group’s artist began sketching with this tool, and as she sketched, the team refined its ideas. The notion of “query kids” became clearer to the team. These were not kids that told you to do thi...

... However, because these protocols must be developed per-application, using this technique to support applications in MDEs would require an overly large effort. Another set of systems including KidPad =-=[4]-=-, PointRight [20], Mighty Mouse [8], Dynamo [18], and Swordfish [17] allow joint interaction within a shared visual workspace, but do not allow individual work to be performed in parallel. iRoom [19] ...
