Research

Groupware Toolkit for C#
The GT library is a groupware toolkit with two goals: to simplify the development of real-time distributed groupware, and to improve the performance of distributed applications.
Learning The Land: Improving map-based interactions
When people consult maps together, they use gestures as a component of their interactions. However, when collaborators are remote to each other or communicating asynchronously, the gesture information can be lost.
Procedural Audio Awareness through GTBlackboard
Audio feedback for groupware awareness has been under-examined, and in particular procedural audio has remarkable potential to provide users with information.
Interaction Techniques for Digital Tables
Digital tables allow people to interact with computer workspaces that are projected onto tabletops.
Rich User Embodiment in Groupware
Embodiments are virtual personifications of the user in real-time distributed groupware. Many embodiments in groupware are simple abstract 2D representations such as avatars and telepointers.
