Abstract
Many of the Electronic Meeting Systems on the market today only support sharing of electronic documents via email or a common user space. This kind of sharing enforces short work interruption and requires substantial mental effort than necessary. This contribution describes the development of a simple EMS, its shortcomings and the further development to a gesture-based EMS for sharing documents in face-to-face meetings. The system implements the concept of a “throwing” gesture for transferring documents to one or more participants. This gesture is explained and evaluated in further detail.
