Impressions of CHI 2009

CHI 2009CHI 2009 was highly impressive this year and we presented two demos at the Interactivity session: FLUX table and our Occlusion-Aware Menu. Our first attendance to CHI was a good chance to introduce our work to the HCI community. We got some really good feedback about both of our projects. Furthermore, we were able to watch some really interesting talks and presentation.

Daniel Vogel had a very interesting talk about “Hand Occlusion with Tablet-sized Direct Pen Input“. Similar to our Occlusion-Aware Menu, they studied the occlusion caused by the users hand and also provided a first model to simplify that problem.

In the Session “Tabletops and Single Display Groupware”,  Peter Robinson presented the findings of Philip Tuddenham’s work “Territorial Coordination and Workspace Awareness in Remote Tabletop Collaboration“. In their study they saw that territoriality does only happen in co-located collaboration but not in remote.
