Deskotheque - Spatial Awareness in Collaborative Multi-Display Environments

Office space usually consists of private single-user workstations. Team work takes place on separate locations, usually supported by analogue media like printed paper. Digital data exchanges is accomplished through designated channels like e-mail or instant messengers. Deskotheque is an ongoing project aiming to extend personal workspaces to enhance team work. It represents a flexible, interactive environment for team work, conference and meeting rooms. Unused surfaces in the room, such as empty wall space and table surfaces, can be turned into interactive, digital displays to be used for multi-user co-located teamwork.
