Multi-user interface modalities developed for ultra-high-resolution display spaces have generally provided specialized devices and interaction modalities, requiring users to learn new paradigms before interfacing with the workspace. ![]() Additionally, mouse and keyboard interaction paradigms are not readily mobile, limiting the utility of the room-sized display environment. ![]() Unfortunately, traditional means to interface with these types of systems generally do not work well in multi-user paradigms as interactions are often controlled via standard single user mouse and keyboard interfaces. This kind of physical navigation has been shown to outperform the standard pan and zoom paradigms . Through the ultra-high-resolution nature of these systems, many users can analyze the same data set simultaneously. Newly developed scalable display environments present the visual capabilities of supporting numerous users simultaneously . As group sizes grow to more than a few users, this requirement presents challenges for standard interface modalities. In order to keep users engaged, these working environments must present users with the ability to see and interact with content intuitively and interactively. While these collaborative workspaces have been shown to have great utility, developing these environments is a challenging endeavor . ![]() Multi-user co-located collaborative research environments present unique opportunities for scientific exploration and analysis.
