Abstract

This manuscript introduces a technique for pointing on large tabletop displays for collaborative work. In an environment of large tabletop displays, some contents might be out of the users' reach and the coordinates of the screen might not be aligned with the users' positions. A reflex in eye-hand coordination is a natural response to inconsistency between kinetic information of a mouse and visual feedback of the mouse cursor. The reflex yields information on which side the user sees the screen from, so that the coordinates of the screen are aligned with the user's position. Once the coordinates of the screen are aligned, the user can manipulate the mouse cursor in a usual manner.
