ABSTRACT
Nowadays, imagining modern buildings without glass is difficult, and glass walls can be found almost everywhere around us. Glass has been one of the most valued materials owing to its transparency. Glass walls' transparency in modern architecture involves two contradictory characteristics: visual continuity and spatial discontinuity. Even though we can see everything through a glass wall, we can hardly hear the sound and cannot touch anything on the opposite side of the wall. Although a glass wall facilitates interpersonal communications beyond a partition, it simultaneously blocks deeper interactions. Can the glass wall be made into an even richer communication medium?

Transwall: a transparent double-sided touch display facilitating co-located face-to-face interactions
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsToday, transparent display technologies are becoming quite ubiquitous. However, until now, transparent displays have been used from only one side of the display in limited application areas. In this paper, we propose TransWall, a transparent display ...
