Abstract
We are investigating how people move from individual to group work
through the use of both personal digital assistants (PDAs) and a
shared public display. Our scenario of this work covers the following
activities. First, individuals can create "personal" notes on their
PDAs. Second, when individuals meet in real time, they can selectively
"publicize" notes by moving them to a shared public display. Third, the
group can manipulate personal and public items in real time through both
PDAs and the shared public display, where the notes contained on both
PDAs and public display are automatically synchronized. Finally, people
leave a meeting with a (more or less) common record of their activity. We
describe a fully implemented system called SharedNotes that illustrates
how people move through this scenario. We also highlight a variety of
design issues.
