Abstract
Within the digital tabletop research community there is a growing
understanding of the fundamental interaction behaviors that digital tabletop
workspaces should enable in order to facilitate effective collaboration. Some
of these understandings have theoretical basis such as tabletop
territoriality, which is grounded in the theoretical understandings of human
territoriality. From this developing theoretical understanding, design
guidelines have emerged and prototype systems have been created. The next step
in this research progression is to use these theories as the basis from which
to analyze interaction data from digital tabletop use to understand if the
existing tabletop interfaces and interaction techniques support these
fundamental interaction behaviors. This paper describes one such analysis, in
which the data from an observational study of a tabletop interface component,
called storage bins, is examined to determine how well it supports tabletop
territoriality, as well as another known beneficial interaction behavior,
casual piling of workspace content.
