ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present a new application framework aimed to support distributed synchronous collaboration using multitouch interaction. The framework supports 2D and 3D virtual workspaces that enable two or more users to collaboratively or cooperatively manipulate shared objects with multitouch interfaces. We present two applications developed with the aim to explore 2D/3D immersive collaborative environments with multitouch interaction. We also present our experience and preliminary results in designing, developing and integrating these applications on educational settings.

Evaluation of Flick Gestures on Multitouch Tabletop Surfaces
ISS '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and SpacesThis work is observing the impacts/influence of different mapping functions between the user's flick gesture and the animation of the flicked object. The flick gesture, in which the user quickly swipes a finger across the screen and lifts the finger ...
Carpeno: interfacing remote collaborative virtual environments with table-top interaction
Creativity is enhanced by communication and collaboration. Thus, the increasing number of distributed creative tasks requires better support from computer-mediated communication and collaborative tools. In this paper we introduce “Carpeno”, a new system ...
Studying collaborative object positioning in distributed augmented realities
MUM '17: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous MultimediaAugmented Reality (AR) displays have been suggested as shared-space technology to support remote collaboration, e.g., in design and building tasks. But with AR displays, the shared space typically consists of only the virtual work objects (e.g., design ...
