Call for Papers for
Personal and Ubiquitous Computing Special Issue:
Designing Multi-touch Interaction Techniques for Coupled Public and
Personal Displays
Editors: Shahram Izadi, Aaron Quigley, and Sriram Subramanian
Synopsis:
This call for papers for a special issue follows on the successful
workshop held at Advanced Visual Interfaces 2008 on the same topic
(see http://ppd08.ucd.ie/ for workshop details). The special issue
will focus on the research challenges and opportunities afforded by
the combination of touch sensitive small personal input displays
coupled with large touch sensitive public displays. Different
touch-enabled devices rely on different types of touches (passive
stylus, active stylus, fingers and tangible objects), the motivating
question for this call is how do users switch between these devices
and how to facilitate fluid transition from a collection of multiple
displays to a single integrated multi-display environment.
Recent developments have seen the wide spread proliferation of both
large shared- and small personal- interactive surfaces. Large
interactive surfaces offer great potential for face-to-face work and
social interaction and provide natural ways to directly manipulate
virtual objects whereas small devices afford the individual a personal
workspace or "scratch space" to formulate ideas before bringing them
to a wider audience. Advanced visual interfaces can be built around a
combination of both personal and public touch driven displays. Such
computer mediated multi-device interaction between local touch-driven
displays and shared public ones present a number of novel and
challenging research problems.
Topics of interest to this special issue include (but are not limited
to)
* Understanding the design space and identifying factors that
influence Multi-touch interactions in Coupled Public and Personal
Displays
* The impact of social conventions on the design of suitable
interaction techniques for shared and personal displays
* Exploring interaction techniques that facilitate multi-display
interfaces
* Personal displays as physical objects for the development of
interaction techniques with shared multi-touch displays
* Novel interaction techniques for both personal and public
multi-touch devices as part of multi-display environments
* Techniques for supporting input re-direction and distributing
information between displays
* Developing evaluation strategies to cope with the complex nature
of multi-display environments
* Ethnography and user studies on the use of coupled public and
personal display environments for productivity or entertainment
applications
* Comprehensive surveys of the state-of-the-art that extend our
understanding of the design space.
