Title: Multi-Device Analysis around Tabletops

Abstract: The increasing abundance of data creates new opportunities for communities of interest and communities of practice. We believe that interactive tabletops will allow humans to explore data in familiar spaces such as living rooms, cafés, and public places. As part of our vision, we suggest switching from fixed tabletops to multi-device solutions. We show how multi-device solutions in the future could encourage collaboration and engage users in socially relevant data-oriented analysis (1). Also related to the topic of multi-device interaction, this talk will show examples of cross-device application sharing (2) and distributed brainstorming groupware (3).
