... in sensing technology have enabled a new generation of tabletop displays that can sense multiple points of input from several users simultaneously. However, apart from a few demonstration techniques =-=[17]-=-, current user interfaces do not take advantage of this increased input bandwidth. We present a variety of multifinger and whole hand gestural interaction techniques for these displays that leverage a...

...mputational artifacts for colocated collaboration has been proposed before [15,16], only recently have advances in multi-user touch input and display technologies, such as DiamondTouch [3], SmartSkin =-=[9]-=-, and DViT [14], opened up the possibility of new form factors that enable research into face-to-face and shoulder-to-shoulder interactions on direct manipulation surfaces. Our own research has focuse...

...on demonstrating the panning effect. hands could be a potential gesture. To date, most surface gestures have been defined by system designers, who personally employ them or teach them to user-testers =-=[14,17,21,27,34,35]-=-. Despite skillful design, this results in somewhat arbitrary gesture sets whose members may be chosen out of concern for reliable recognition [19]. Although this criterion is important for early prot...

... a vertical display attached to one side of the table, which leaves only one side of the table with optimal viewing conditions (e.g., Rauterberg et al., 1997; Koike et al., 2000; Patten et al., 2001; =-=Rekimoto, 2002-=-). There are also table systems that provide vertical displays near the table without hindering the use of any sides the table (e.g., Arias et al., 1999; Fox et al., 2000). When users are sitting at v...

...es have been developed to interact with these displays [9, 24]. Researchers have also explored techniques for making these types of touchscreen displays support simultaneous input from multiple users =-=[5, 13, 21]-=-. Other notable work includes research into augmented tabletop displays [22, 25], which seek to mix physical and virtual objects to support forms of tangible interaction. ‘Walk up and use’ interactive...

... and painting programs. There are also exciting emerging technologies that are capable of sensing, to some degree, the pressure that a user applies to them. Examples of these are Rekimoto’s SmartSkin =-=[12]-=-, and Mitsubishi’s DiamondTouch table [5]. In summary, our review indicates that while there is a rich literature on the use of pressure at the user interface, there has not been a systematic investig...
