“…Pinelle et al [4] studied direct touch and relative input techniques with different levels of embodiment for tabletop systems and showed that direct touch generally generated higher levels of awareness of other users' location or activity, but that virtual embodiments were preferred by the majority of participants. More recently, Anastasiou et al [5] studied how pointing gestures were used in low awareness situations at tabletop interfaces. As far as pointing is concerned, it has been examined by many scholars, such as linguists, semioticians, psychologists, anthropologists and primatologists.…”

“…Most participants were at least somewhat familiar with others from the same group. In fact, 50 out of the total 72 peer-to-peer relations were labelled as (4) or (5), with only 10 on (1) and 6 for both (2) and (3). Since the scenario involved a large display setup, participants were asked about the frequency of their usage of large interactive displays.…”

“…Existing prior work on collaborative technologies generally acknowledges the importance of a maintaining high awareness of the workspace, and various technological approaches have been proposed to support this awareness, e.g., when personal or separated workspaces are included. However, to date, there are only a few empirical or observational studies on how awareness is created and shared by users of large interactive displays [3][4][5]. In this paper, we seek to study how mid-air pointing gestures are used by groups of four collocated participants to share awareness information during collaborative decision-making in a wall-display environment (see Figure 1).…”

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.

“…These informings, mediated by an interactive tabletop (ITT, see Fig. 2) [4,5], are designed to serve as a kind of game manual, to offer guidance and to provide the participants with crucial information for a gradual and joint familiarization with the ITT-activity. The collaborative activity is new to the participants and designed in a way that they all have to rely on these informings in order to jointly achieve several game task(s).…”

This paper is concerned with how the spatial distribution of written informings in a serious game activity at an interactive tabletop (ITT) induces participants to read aloud interactionally relevant information to each other in the process of co-constructing a shared understanding. Engaging in an unfamiliar game activity, the participants are all equally dependent on written informings from the interface that serve as a game manual and provide crucial information for jointly achieving the game task(s). When it comes to making use of these written informings, we find the participants to read them aloud, making them accountable within the group. Our findings from multimodal video analysis of two reading-aloud cases suggest that the written informing’s directionality and distribution (here, either designed as ‘distributed’ or ‘shared’ among the interface) regulate the participants’ access to information. And that participants who cannot visually access the information they are interested in reading (aloud) co-organize fine-grained joint successive actions build on and actualized by read-aloud utterances. These joint actions allow them to align their orientation and share their understanding of game activity-relevant content.
