Managing Variability in Software Systems for Vertical and Horizontal Displays
چکیده
Developing applications for use on an emerging technology such as horizontal displays is not straightforward. Issues pertaining to scaling, orientation, new input mechanisms, novel interaction techniques and different SDKs need to be examined. In this poster paper, we share our experience on how to follow a lightweight systematic approach to manage the technical and usability issues arising from: 1) migrating applications from a vertical orientation to a horizontal one, and 2) adapting horizontally-oriented applications to different digital tabletop platforms. The discussed approach allows developers of digital tabletop applications to reuse existing systems, that originally targeted vertical displays, rather than rewrite new systems.
