Large surface computing devices (wall-mounted or tabletop) with
touch interfaces and their application to collaborative data
analysis, an increasingly important and prevalent activity, is the
primary topic of this book. Our goals are to outline the
fundamentals of surface computing (a still maturing technology),
review relevant work on collaborative data analysis, describe
frameworks for understanding collaborative processes, and provide a
better understanding of the opportunities for research and
development. We describe surfaces as display technologies with
which people can interact directly, and emphasize how interaction
design changes when designing for large surfaces. We review efforts
to use large displays, surfaces or mixed display environments to
enable collaborative analytic activity. Collaborative analysis is
important in many domains, but to provide concrete examples and a
specific focus, we frequently consider analysis work in the
security domain, and in particular the challenges security
personnel face in securing networks from attackers, and
intelligence analysts encounter when analyzing intelligence data.
Both of these activities are becoming increasingly collaborative
endeavors, and there are huge opportunities for improving
collaboration by leveraging surface computing. This work highlights
for interaction designers and software developers the particular
challenges and opportunities presented by interaction with
surfaces. We have reviewed hundreds of recent research papers, and
report on advancements in the fields of surface-enabled
collaborative analytic work, interactive techniques for surface
technologies, and useful theory that can provide direction to
interaction design work. We also offer insight into issues that
arise when developing applications for multi-touch surfaces derived
from our own experiences creating collaborative applications. We
present these insights at a level appropriate for all members of
the software design and development team. Table of Contents: List
