Hands - On - Math Final Report – September 2010

This report summarizes the work conducted under the 1 year Surface initiative project. Our goal was to explore the value proposition of adapting pen-centric mathematical sketching techniques to a hybrid pen and multitouch environment based on a Microsoft Surface. Our results were positively received during evaluation as participants commented that our Hands-On Math prototype not only made interacting with math fun and efficient, but also provided value for note-taking tasks in general. This work has also been accepted as a full paper at UIST 2010.
