Collaboration Meets Interactive Spaces: Theory and Practice

This book explores the technological advances and social interactions between interactive spaces, surfaces and devices, aiming to provide new insights into emerging social protocols that arise from the experimentation and long-term usage of interactive surfaces.

This edited volume brings together researchers from around the world who investigate interactive surfaces and interaction techniques within large displays, wearable devices, software development, security and emergency management.  Providing both theory and practical case studies, the authors look at current developments and challenges into 3D visualization, large surfaces, the interplay of mobile phone devices and large displays, wearable systems and head mounted displays (HMD’S), remote proxemics and interactive wall displays and how these can be employed throughout the home and work spaces.

Collaboration Meets Interactive Spaces is both for researchers and industry practitioners, providing readers with a coherent narrative into the current state-of-the-art within interactive surfaces and pervasive display technology, providing necessary tools and techniques as interactive media increasingly permeates everyday contexts.

Craig Anslow is a Senior Research Fellow at Middlesex University, London, UK. Craig is an organizer of the workshop on Collaboration Meets Interactive Surfaces (CMIS): Walls, Tabletops, Mobiles, and Wearables co-located at the ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces (ISS). Craig’s research interests include collaborative information visualization, visual analytics applications, multi-surface environments, emergency management, criminal intelligence, and software engineering. Craig has published at international conferences notably ITS, British HCI, VISSOFT, VL/HCC, SIGCSE, and SPLASH. Craig received a PhD in Software Engineering from the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand in 2013.
