“…Authors argue that the virtual grabber could be used to interact with objects in wall screens from the tabletop in intelligent and responsive spaces. Hopmann et al [29] have tried to bring tangibility back to drag-and-drop. In their study a remote control that detects gestures was used to transfer a picture from a TV to a digital photo frame.…”

In this paper, we describe the requirements elicitation for a digital war room -a group work facility to support people interacting with digital (and analog) materials. The target user group is product design teams and construction engineers/architects. Main requirements for an interactive group work space include fluent sharing of documents within the facility and ability to comment on them, support for both analog and digital sketching and writing by hand, minimum of three displays allowing parallel tasks and comparison of different alternatives and the importance of the physical properties of the facility.

“…In [11][10], the authors suggested to use hand gestures in order to connect devices and transfer files from a device to another. In [7], we presented a first tangible drag-and-drop prototype focused on digital pictures and the interaction with a digital photo frame. This first prototype gave encouraging results in terms of interaction between multiple devices, and for this reason we decided to further further develop this concept.…”

Abstract. The last ten years have seen an explosion in the diversity of digital-life devices, e.g. music and video players. However, the interaction paradigm to use these devices has remained mostly unchanged. Remote controls are still the most common way to manage a digital-life device. Moreover, the interaction between devices themselves is still very limited and rarely addressed by a remote control interface. We present in this paper a study of tangible drag-and-drop, a remote control interface based on the well-known paradigm coming from the graphical user interface. This interaction technique aims at reducing the gap between the digital and physical worlds, enabling the transfer of digital data from one device to another. To validate such a concept, we present two prototypes, along with user studies and a general discussion about the tangible drag-anddrop technique.
