“…Direct interaction with content across devices has been supported through drag-and-drop proxy icon portals [64,123,206], pressurebased press-and-flick techniques [223], pinch-to-zoom across multiple displays [206], or drag-and-pop and drag-and-pick techniques for multi-screen environments [15]. Around-thedevice interactions are predominately based on interactive surfaces (like PhoneTouch [294] or ActivitySpace [143]), or projection systems that extend the interaction space to visual proxies next to a device [311], extended projected displays [57], touch-enabled surfaces around the device [362], or even augmented mouse, touch, and keyboard input [23].…”

“…A first category of techniques focuses on 2D movement on a flat surface. Techniques include rotating devices to interact with content [143,270,288], moving devices to explore spatially aware maps [90,270], or to explore information visualisations [367]. The second category focuses on advanced 3D motions with devices for content interaction.…”

Designing interfaces or applications that move beyond the bounds of a single device screen enables new ways to engage with digital content. Research addressing the opportunities and challenges of interactions with multiple devices in concert is of continued focus in HCI research. To inform the future research agenda of this field, we contribute an analysis and taxonomy of a corpus of 510 papers in the crossdevice computing domain. For both new and experienced researchers in the field we provide: an overview, historic trends and unified terminology of cross-device research; discussion of major and under-explored application areas; mapping of enabling technologies; synthesis of key interaction techniques spanning across multiple devices; and review of common evaluation strategies. We close with a discussion of open issues. Our taxonomy aims to create a unified terminology and common understanding for researchers in order to facilitate and stimulate future cross-device research.

The availability of mobile device ecologies enables new types of ad-hoc co-located decision-making and sensemaking practices in which people find, collect, discuss, and share information. However, little is known about what kind of device configurations are suitable for these types of tasks. This paper contributes new insights into how people use configurations of devices for one representative example task: collaborative co-located trip-planning. We present an empirical study that explores and compares three strategies to use multiple devices: no-overview, overview on own device, and a separate overview device. The results show that the overview facilitated decision-and sensemaking during a collaborative trip-planning task by aiding groups to iterate their itinerary, organize locations and timings efficiently, and discover new insights. Groups shared and discussed more opinions, resulting in more democratic decision-making. Groups provided with a separate overview device engaged more frequently and spent more time in closely-coupled collaboration.

“…Houben et al [15] introduced ActivitySpace, a distributed information management system based on the activity theory, which allows users to cope with problems like the lack of transparency or control when working in multi-device environments. The system is based on a configuration space concept, that allows users to manage and distribute applications and resources across available devices.…”

In recent years, research on cross-device interaction has become a popular topic in HCI leading to novel interaction techniques mutually interfering with new evolving theoretical paradigms. Building on previous research, we implemented an individual multi-device work environment for creative activities. In a study with 20 participants, we compared a traditional toolbar-based condition with two conditions facilitating spatially distributed tools on digital panels and on physical devices. We analyze participants' interactions with the tools, encountered problems and corresponding solutions, as well as subjective task load and user experience. Our findings show that the spatial distribution of tools indeed offers advantages, but also elicits new problems, that can partly be leveraged by the physical affordances of mobile devices.
