ABSTRACT
We have undertaken a research project that visualizes a community, especially for events such as academic conferences. As research progresses, we have noticed that small gatherings of a few persons happen during events as a vital component of forming a community. We call these happenings Social Interactions. Typical situations that foster Social Interactions include gathering around a table. Therefore, we think it is possible to visualize larger communities through obtaining and processing Social Interaction data via table-like interfaces.As one part of group research project, here we introduce an art piece, named "Tabletop Community", that enables the visualization of Social Interactions around the table. Through this artwork system, users/participants easily record the state and atmosphere of each Interaction. The system visualizes the state of the entire community as an interactive network visualization. Here we introduce past results along with the current progress of the system.

Tabletop community: artwork for visualization of social interactions using a bipartite network
MM '06: Proceedings of the 14th ACM international conference on Multimedia"Tabletop Community" is an artwork that records interactions among users around a table. The artwork also visualizes a social network of users from data that show these interactions; the piece can present that network to other users as well. Its theme ...
Getting practical with interactive tabletop displays: designing for dense data, "fat fingers," diverse interactions, and face-to-face collaboration
ITS '09: Proceedings of the ACM International Conference on Interactive Tabletops and SurfacesTabletop displays with touch-based input provide many powerful affordances for directly manipulating and collaborating around information visualizations. However, these devices also introduce several challenges for interaction designers, including ...
