Information Management in Emerging Display Environments
With affordable large-scale monitors and powerful projector hardware, it is possible to combine multiple heterogeneous display devices of different size, resolution, and orientation into a common interaction space. However, commonly used user interfaces and information management techniques fail to take the complexity of such emerging display environments into account and therefore cannot exploit their full potential.
In this talk, I will present user interface and information management techniques for emerging display environments we designed and developed at the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision at Graz University of Technology. I will first demonstrate our technical infrastructure for constructing spatially aware display environments. Based on this infrastructure, new interaction and information presentation techniques for window managers in emerging display environments were implemented and evaluated. I will report the lessons learned and potential future research directions.
