Research

My research currently investigates new software interfaces for real-world tabletop applications, encompassing themes such as:

digital document access;
multi-user collaboration with documents around a tabletop;
export and organisation of content at a tabletop;
using private devices (e.g. smartphones and tablets) in conjunction with shared collaborative displays;
gesture learnability for tabletops in public spaces;
applying user modelling techniques to drive the personalisation of tabletop content and interface behaviour.
