“…O'Hara et al and Streitz et al also discuss the different zones of interaction around a screen from passive viewing to areas of more active engagement [31,37]. This too is of significance in the key work of Brignull and Rogers [1].…”

In recent years there has been a growing interest in urban screen applications. While there have been several deployments of these technologies in our urban environments, surprisingly little research has aimed to explore the detailed material practice of people's engagement and interaction with these urban screen applications. In this paper, we present a study of collaborative game play on large urban displays situated in three city locations in the UK. The study highlights ways in which collaborative play is initiated and coordinated within the context of an urban environment. These experiences are related to physical characteristics of the architectural spaces, the people populating these spaces and the interactive properties of the game itself. The study moves on to discuss issues relating to audience and spectatorship, an inherent feature of interaction in urban environments. The issues of audience and spectatorship are discussed in their own right but also in terms of their relationship to the playing experience. Finally the study considers these interactive experiences in the contexts of being hosted by a professional compere and also with no host present. Through the study we highlight factors to consider in the design of collaborative urban screen applications.

“…for medical monitoring, navigation, memory aids and personal data management. Also, mobile devices are increasingly used to communicate with remote computers, and they can be integrated in clothing (Leonhardt, 2006), furniture and walls (Streitz et al, 2003;Prante et al, 2004). However, the mobile character of these devices in combination with the small display represents a still higher usability demand compared to large display technologies.…”

“…Researchers such as Ishii and Ullmer [6] have explored the use of tangible object interfaces for tabletop collaboration while Streitz et al [7] use natural gesture and object based interaction in their i-Land smart space. In both cases people find the interfaces easy to use and a natural extension of how they normally interact with the real world.…”

Carpeno: interfacing remote collaborative virtual environments with table-top interaction

et al. 2006

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 for facilitating intuitive face-to-face and remote collaboration on creative tasks.Normally the most popular and efficient way for people to collaborate is face-to-face, sitting around a table. Computer augmented surface environments, in particular interactive table-top environments, are increasingly used to support face-to-face meetings. They help co-located teams to develop new ideas by facilitating the presentation, manipulation, and exchange of shared digital documents displayed on the table-top surface. Users can see each other at the same time as the information they are talking about. In this way the task space and communication space can be brought together in a more natural and intuitive way. The discussion of digital content is redirected from a computer screen, back to a table that people can gather around.In contrast, Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVE) are used to support remote collaboration.They frequently create familiar discussion scenarios for remote interlocutors by utilizing room metaphors. Here, virtual avatars and table metaphors are used, where the participants can get together and communicate with each other in a way that allows behaviour that is as close to faceto-face collaboration as possible.The Carpeno system described here combines table-top interaction with a CVE to support intuitive face-to-face and remote collaboration. This allows for simultaneous co-located and remote collaboration around a common, interactive table.
