Abstract

Tables provide a large and natural interface for supporting direct manipulation of visualcontent for human-to-human interactions. Such surfaces also support collaboration, coordination, andparallel problem solving. However, the direct-touch table metaphor also presents considerablechallenges, including the need for input methods that transcend traditional mouse- and keyboard-based designs.
