Swordfish: user tailored workspaces in multi-display environments

Published:21 April 2006Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a novel interaction metaphor for Multiple Display Environments (MDEs) called lightweight personal bindings. This approach enables users to easily bind edges from one display to another and move seamlessly between displays. The goal of this work is to support collocated collaboration in a dynamic multi-display environment while accommodating users' personal preferences. With lightweight personal bindings, each user can choose their own display connections and create a personalized MDE. This approach also helps manage changes in the environment as devices enter, move, or leave.
