Code Space: Touch + Air Gesture Hybrid Interactions for Supporting Developer Meetings

Code Space is a system that explores touch + air gesture hybrid interactions to support co-located, small group developer meetings by democratizing access, control, and sharing of information across multiple personal devices and public displays. Our system uses a combination of a shared multi-touch screen, mobile touch devices, and Microsoft Ki-nect sensors. We describe cross-device interactions, which use a combination of in-air pointing for social disclosure of com-mands, targeting and mode setting, combined with touch for command execution and precise gestures. In a formative study, professional developers were positive about the interaction design, and most felt that pointing with hands or devices and forming hand postures are socially acceptable. Users also felt that the techniques adequately disclosed who was interacting and that existing social protocols would help to dictate most permissions, but also felt that our lightweight permission fea-ture helped presenters manage incoming content.

You misspelled “Combining” as “Combinging” in your title slide. Whoops!

Great work. A really nice summary of what is possible with gesture for collaboration. I'd love to see what this looks like pushing the tertiary display idea. Combine this with LightSpace and show us the future.

This is cool and all, but can we have code bubbles yet?

É importante que seja divertido, também, para atrair a atenção e o interesse dos alunos, cansados de falta de material, infraestrutura, premissas futuras, enfim de tudo. Parabens, espero que o programa não pare nas capitais, invada o interior do país onde existe maior carencia de material escolar. Muito obrigado.

If you're watching this video, make sure you've watched the Code Bubbles video first at /watch?v=PsPX0nElJ0k

This has huge potential.

very interesting. Johnny Chung Lee did this about 4 years ago, only a lot less user-friendly. I sure hope to see this in use soon..
