Design Issues, Principles, Research • Even today, building collaborative spaces is hard. Recent developments help: • DiamondTouch table & DiamondSpin toolkit (tables) • The Papier-Mâché toolkit (vision, rfid, barcode) • iROS and the PatchPanel (interactive rooms) • These tools all support simultaneous input by multiple people, and the latter two address heterogeneous devices
History • Weiser’s ubicomp era: LiveBoards • Fundamental contribution: computing at the wall scale • Commercial spinouts by LiveWorks, SMART • SMART now a $100m/yr business • Early/Mid 90s: Richer interactions • Digital Desk, Clearboard • More recently: Interacting across devices • iRoom!
Design Principles • Always on scanning • Geo-referenced I/O • Capture & Access
