Abstract

We present our work-in-progress efforts of designing a simple tabletop robotic assistant that supports users as they interact with tabletop reservoir visualization application. Our prototype, Spidey, is designed to assist reservoir engineers in performing simple data exploration tasks on the interactive tabletop. We present our design as well as preliminary findings from a study of Spidey involving both interaction designers and reservoir engineers.
