Abstract
Our research concerns the design of interface components tailored
for single display groupware (SDG) where multiple co-located people, each with
their own input device, interact over a single shared display. In particular,
we are concerned with 'interference' effects, where one person's raising of an
interface component (e.g., an menu) can impede another's view and interaction
on the shared screen. Our solution uses translucent interface components,
where others can see through the obstructing component and continue their work
underneath it. Our in-progress evaluation suggests this design lessens
interference effects.
