Recent advances in multi-display environments (MDE) has led researchers to develop separated interaction techniques for separated MDE tasks. However, these techniques were not adapted to realistic usage situations. Additionally, when the use of a pen tablet is required, to annotate a document for example, its use in combination with the standard keyboard and mouse often results in homing time cost. In this paper we explore a bimanual approach to support major MDE tasks: it is based on the combination of a multi-degree of freedom device and a pen. Moreover, we explain our approach and current implementation. Finally, we discuss our future work and envisioned studies to evaluate the usability of such an approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
