Human-Computer Interaction on Tabletops

Abstract

The most common working situation is standing or sitting at a table, and performing daily business work. Although this situation is very intuitive to the user, a computer support can hardly be found in this area, mainly because of missing or inadequate human-computer interfaces that do not meet the expected requirements of the user. However, ongoing research in this particular field of human-computer interaction addresses this problem. The following paper shows an exemplaric research progress and gives and outlook on future research.
