ABSTRACT
Group work frequently involves transitions between periods of active collaboration and periods of individual activity. We aim to support this typical work practice by introducing four tabletop direct-manipulation interaction techniques that can be used to transition the status of an electronic document from private to group-accessible. After presenting our four techniques - release, relocate, reorient, and resize - we discuss the results of an empirical study that compares and evaluates these mechanisms for sharing documents in a co-located tabletop environment.

Beyond "social protocols": multi-user coordination policies for co-located groupware
CSCW '04: Proceedings of the 2004 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative workThe status quo for co-located groupware is to assume that "social protocols" (standards of polite behavior) are sufficient to coordinate the actions of a group of users; however, prior studies of groupware use as well as our own observations of groups ...
An exploratory study of facilitation in distributed requirements engineering
There is an increasing need to build an understanding of group facilitation in distributed requirements engineering. Group facilitation is an important element of group approaches to requirements engineering, which is being challenged by the emergence ...
TeamTag: exploring centralized versus replicated controls for co-located tabletop groupware
CHI '06: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe explore how the placement of control widgets (such as menus) affects collaboration and usability for co-located tabletop groupware applications. We evaluated two design alternatives: a centralized set of controls shared by all users, and separate per-...
