Abstract

In this research, we propose "Interlocked Surfaces", which supports cooperation work between different devices. The system offers to connect different devices wirelessly and allow multiple users to view and edit documents simultaneously. We have developed a technique to share and view documents between different devices even they have difference screen sizes and resolutions. In a user study, we conducted experiments to evaluate the usefulness of the system. The result shows that users can perform the document inspection task more comfortably using the proposed system.
