dc.description.abstractWith a large number of interactive displays and devices available for users today, multi-display environments are becoming both increasingly common and complex. This complexity also has an effect on a fundamental interaction that users frequently perform in multi-display environments – transferring content. The devices and displays in a multi-display environment – such as digital tabletops, tablets, and high resolution wall displays – now allow users to transfer content in a variety of different combinations. A review of existing research literature revealed that many of the interactions designed for transferring content in multi-display environments were created by system designers and were not necessarily interactions that users would find usable in real-world multi-display environments. From a user experience perspective, these interactions in multi-display environments require a focus on users, whose real-world experiences and perceptions play a significant role in the interactions themselves. This thesis presents research that identifies better interaction design for multi-display environments. This is accomplished by performing an elicitation study to determine the interactions that users are both comfortable with and prefer for transferring content in a multi-display environment. The result is a set of interaction metaphors and guidelines for user experience professionals to draw upon when creating new gestures and interactions for transferring content in multi-display environments.en_US
