Bridging private and shared interaction surfaces in co-located group settings

This work-in-progress paper describes the design of an interaction technique that addresses user interaction challenges with digital object transfer between private and shared surfaces, particularly in co-located group settings. We propose a transfer technique for bridging tablets and digital tables that builds on existing interaction techniques, such as virtual embodiments and multi-display bridging techniques, to improve awareness of the transfer process both for the person performing the transfer and for their collaborators. The technique also minimizes effort involved in the transfer action, enabling people to focus on the activity at hand--or the ongoing conversation--rather than on the technologies being used.
