“…a complicated 3D molecule or an extremely large and detailed image), (2) comparing a large quantity of related visual content (such as photographs), and (3) juxta positioning data from different sources (e.g., photographs, video clips, articles, raw data tables, notes) [9]. Interactive wall-displays were found to support several collaboration styles [10] as well as fluid transitions between personal and shared workspaces [11]. Because wall-displays provide a shared space, they support high awareness of other users' actions and intentions [12].…”

Sharing a physical environment, such as that of a wall-display, facilitates gaining awareness of others' actions and intentions, thereby bringing benefits for collaboration. Previous studies have provided first insights on awareness in the context of tabletops or smaller vertical displays. This paper seeks to advance the current understanding on how users share awareness information in wall-display environments and focusses on mid-air pointing gestures as a foundational part of communication. We present a scenario dealing with the organization of medical supply chains in crisis situations, and report on the results of a user study with 24 users, split into 6 groups of 4, performing several tasks. We investigate pointing gestures and identify three subtypes used as awareness cues during face-to-face collaboration: narrative pointing, loose pointing, and sharp pointing. Our observations show that reliance on gesture subtypes varies across participants and groups, and that sometimes vague pointing is sufficient to support verbal negotiations.

“…Different incompatible interaction techniques might be better suited to multiple users working on the same wall vs. multiple users collaborating across distant walls. Furthermore, the various collaboration scenarios might also rely on different kinds of awareness mechanisms [23,53].…”

Affinity diagramming is widely applied to analyze qualitative data such as interview transcripts. It involves multiple analytic processes and is often performed collaboratively. Drawing on interviews with three practitioners and upon our own experience, we show how practitioners combine multiple analytic processes and adopt different artifacts to help them analyze their data. Current tools, however, fail to adequately support mixing analytic processes, devices, and collaboration styles. We present a vision and prototype ADQDA, a cross-device, collaborative affinity diagramming tool for qualitative data analysis, implemented using distributed web technologies. We show how this approach enables analysts to appropriate available pertinent digital devices as they fluidly migrate between analytic phases or adopt different methods and representations, all while preserving consistent analysis artifacts. We validate this approach through a set of application scenarios that explore how it enables new ways of analyzing qualitative data that better align with identified analytic practices.

“…It is also beneficial when users cannot see the input device, for instance, when using opaque Head-Mounted Displays (HMD) in Virtual Reality (VR) setups. These environments are becoming more and more complex, as they require users to interact with more smart objects, with multiple displays at the same time (e.g., visualisation [26] and control rooms [41]), or to perform complex visual analytics tasks [14,35].…”

Supporting many gestures on small surfaces allows users to interact remotely with complex environments such as smart homes, large remote displays, or virtual reality environments, and switching between them (e.g., AR setup in a smart home). Providing eyes-free gestures in these contexts is important as this avoids disrupting the user's visual attention. However, very few techniques enable large sets of commands on small wearable devices supporting the user's mobility and even less provide eyes-free interaction. We present Side-Crossing Menus (SCM), a gestural technique enabling large sets of gestures on a smartwatch. Contrary to most gestural techniques, SCM relies on broad and shallow menus that favor small and rapid gestures. We demonstrate with a first experiment that users can efficiently perform these gestures eyes-free aided with tactile cues; 95% accuracy after training 20 minutes on a representative set of 30 gestures among 172. In a second experiment, we focus on the learning of SCM gestures and do not observe significant differences with conventional Multi-stroke Marking Menus in gesture accuracy and recall rate. As both techniques utilize contrasting menu structures, our results indicate that SCM is a compelling alternative for enhancing the input capabilities of small surfaces. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → Gestural input.
