Abstract

Devices such as tablets, mobile phones, tabletops and wall displays all incorporate different sizes of screens, and are now commonplace in a variety of situations and environments. Environments that incorporate these devices, multi-display environments (MDEs) are highly interactive and innovative, but the interaction in these environments is not well understood. The research presented here investigates and explores interaction and users in MDEs. This exploration tries to understand the conceptual models of MDEs for users and then examine and validate interaction approaches that can be done to make them more usable. In addition to a brief literature review, the methodology, research goals and current research status are presented.
