Interaction Techniques for Digital Tables Digital tables allow people to interact with computer workspaces that are projected onto tabletops.

Advanced Interaction for Multi-display Environments Multi-display environments (interfaces composed by several display surfaces) have the potential to dramatically change the way that we work with digital information: for example, they provide a variety of work surfaces to fit different kinds of tasks, they provide a very large visual bandwidth, they enable the use of peripheral attention space, and they naturally support co-located collaboration.
