Identity-Differentiating Widgets for Multiuser Interactive Surfaces
|
By applying the iDwidgets concept, the authors supplement traditional widgets with identity differentiation that supports widget reuse, dynamic widget customization, clutter reduction, and novel multiuser widget type creation. This article introduces a conceptual framework for iDwidgets, describing four axes that application can customize by exploiting identity differentiation: function, content, appearance, and group input.
