1. 2 Papers from Stanford HCI
by Alex S.

2. Introduction Interactive Design Environments
Group of people who are working on a design.
Frequently applies to iRoom settings.
1. Ad-hoc Whiteboard Use in Collaborative Design
Observational study of whiteboard use.
2. Capturing Shared Physical Design Workspaces
The WorkspaceNavigator tool.
Experimental results of tool.

3. Ad-hoc Whiteboard Use (1)
Ad-hoc vs. traditional
Opportunistic (not planned)
Proximity encourages ad-hoc meetings
Run less than 15 min on average
Take place close to whiteboard with an occasional observer
Future work: computer navigation
WorkspaceNavigator tool
Whiteboard usability

4. Implications for iRoom design
Maximize/minimize proximity
More/less ad-hoc meetings (iRoom use)
Space considerations
Whiteboard collaborators
Occasional observers
Wall vs. portable whiteboards
Ease of relocation
Ease of storage

5. Capturing Workspaces … (2)
A knowledge Capture tool
Often needed in design settings (iRoom).
Revisit meeting/lecture.
Analyze history of session.
WorkspaceNavigator features:
Overview imaging (cameras)
Motion detection (sensors)
Computer capture (server + software)
Whiteboard Capture technology

6. Implications for iRoom
WorkspaceNavigator reconfigurability
Central sever controls all add-ons.
Adding new hardware is easy (cameras etc).
Considerations
Easy access to pc for data access.
Easy access to tag/capture controls.
Privacy/noise (outside interference).
