Abstract

In this paper we describe LACOME, which is a collaboration system that allows multiple users to simultaneously publish their computer desktops to a shared large screen display, and also allows other users to interact with the displayed information on a variety of semantic levels. LACOME features our LSO (Large Screen Optimized) window manipulation technique that utilizes the entire window for manipulations instead of only the title-bar and borders and includes 'snapping regions' that automatically move the cursor to the window's boundary, allowing quick, accurate manipulations at the edges and corners of the screen.
