Collaboration with DiamondTouch

چکیده
We study the performance of collaborative spatial/visual tasks under different input configurations. The configurations used are a traditional mouse-monitor, a shared-monitor with multiple-mice, and a multi-user input device (DiamondTouch). Our experiments indicate that there is a significant variation in performance for the different configurations with pairs of users, while there is no such variation with individual users. The traditional configuration is not well-suited for collaborative tasks, and even after augmenting it to a shared monitor with multiplemice it is still significantly inferior to the multi-user input device.

TetraTetris: A Study of Multi-User Touch-Based Interaction Using DiamondTouch
The DiamondTouch table is a touch-sensitive input device that allows several users to interact with a program at the same time and do so using their hands. We describe our exploration of the capabilities and limitations of the DiamondTouch by focusing on TetraTetris, one of the first nontrivial applications written specifically for the DiamondTouch hardware. TetraTetris is a multi-player game, ...

Recent advances in digital tabletop touch-andgesture-activated screens have allowed for small group collaboration. The newest generation screens simultaneously support multiple users, multiple contact points per user, and gesture recognition. To the authors’ knowledge, this technology has never been applied to robot control. We envision that an interactive multi-touch screen display for robot c...
متن کاملRemoteDT: Support for Multi-Site Table Collaboration
Multi-user, interactive tabletops are an exciting new form factor to support collaborative group activities. To date, much of the research in this area has focused on co-located collaboration – groups of people seated around the same physical table. A natural step is to connect a co-located group working around a table to other remote sites, creating a shared collaborative environment. In this ...
متن کاملMulti-user Multi-touch Games on DiamondTouch with the DTFlash Toolkit
Games and other forms of tabletop electronic entertainment are a natural application of the new multi-user multi-touch tabletop technology DiamondTouch [3]. Electronic versions of familiar tabletop games such as ping-pong or air hockey require simultaneous touch events that can be uniquely associated with different users. Multi-touch two-handed gestures useful for, e.g., rotating, stretching, c...
