“…However, since most current interfaces are designed to suit a standard monitor, users encounter various usability problems when working on a large display, including: keeping track of the cursor [5], distal access to windows and icons [7,16], and window management [6,21]. Some interaction techniques have been proposed to address these usability issues.…”

With the ever increasing amount of digital information, users desire more screen real estate to process their daily computing work, and might well benefit from using a wallsize large high-resolution display instead of a desktop one. Unfortunately, we know very little about users' behaviors when using such a display for daily computing. We present a week-long study that investigates large display use in a personal desktop computing context by comparing it with single and dual desktop monitor use. Results show users' unanimous preference for using a large display: it facilitates multi-window and rich information tasks, enhances users' awareness of peripheral applications, and offers a more "immersive" experience. Further, the data reveals distinct usage patterns in partitioning screen real estate and managing windows on a large display. Detailed analysis of these results provides insights into designing interaction techniques and window management systems more suited to a large display.

“…Recent research has helped users interact with large displays by supporting object selection and manipulation (e.g., [5,14,19,35]). Mid-air interaction [16], based on tracking of users' hands, may work well for interaction in the context where users move in front of a large display.…”

Abstract. Most text entry methods require users to have physical devices within reach. In many contexts of use, such as around large displays where users need to move freely, device-dependent methods are ill suited. We explore how selection-based text entry methods may be adapted for use in mid-air. Initially, we analyze the design space for text entry in mid-air, focusing on singlecharacter input with one hand. We propose three text entry methods: H4 MidAir (an adaptation of a game controller-based method by MacKenzie et al.[21]), MultiTap (a mid-air variant of a mobile phone text entry method), and Projected QWERTY (a mid-air variant of the QWERTY keyboard). After six sessions, participants reached an average of 13.2 words per minute (WPM) with the most successful method, Projected QWERTY. Users rated this method highest on satisfaction and it resulted in the least physical movement.

“…Parallely, we have seen the development of interaction devices by which users can convey their intentions much more precisely without the ambiguity of gestures. These include devices like simple lasers [24], VisionWand [5], a special touch pad [23], LEDs on tangible devices [20], a remote control [18], objects with simple geometry like blocks or cylinders [33], or even a handheld camera [17]. However, all these works focus on interfaces and hence use a simple single display and single sensor paradigm.…”

“…There have been a few works that use multiple projectors, but they use a single camera or a pair of stereo cameras. Hence, the interaction tracking in these systems is centralized and handled by a single server [18,35,36,20]. Further, the same centralized server decides a suitable reaction to the gesture and informs the different projectors on how to react.…”

Fig. 1. This figure shows some of our applications in action. From left to right: Our collaborative map visualization application with two users visualizing different parts of the map at the same time on our 3 × 3 array of nine projectors; Our collaborative emergency management application with two users trying to draw a path to hazardous location and dispatching teams of first responders on our 3 × 3 array of nine projectors; Digital graffiti drawn using our collaborative graffiti application on only six of the projectors. We deliberately did not edge blend the projectors to show the six projectors clearly; Four children working together on our digital graffiti application on a 3 × 3 array of nine projectors.Abstract-We present the first distributed paradigm for multiple users to interact simultaneously with large tiled rear projection display walls. Unlike earlier works, our paradigm allows easy scalability across different applications, interaction modalities, displays and users. The novelty of the design lies in its distributed nature allowing well-compartmented, application independent, and application specific modules. This enables adapting to different 2D applications and interaction modalities easily by changing a few application specific modules. We demonstrate four challenging 2D applications on a nine projector display to demonstrate the application scalability of our method: map visualization, virtual graffiti, virtual bulletin board and an emergency management system. We demonstrate the scalability of our method to multiple interaction modalities by showing both gesture-based and laser-based user interfaces. Finally, we improve earlier distributed methods to register multiple projectors. Previous works need multiple patterns to identify the neighbors, the configuration of the display and the registration across multiple projectors in logarithmic time with respect to the number of projectors in the display. We propose a new approach that achieves this using a single pattern based on specially augmented QR codes in constant time. Further, previous distributed registration algorithms are prone to large misregistrations. We propose a novel radially cascading geometric registration technique that yields significantly better accuracy. Thus, our improvements allow a significantly more efficient and accurate technique for distributed self-registration of multi-projector display walls.
