商品描述

Large surface computing devices (wall-mounted or tabletop) with touch interfaces and their application to collaborative data analysis, an increasingly important and prevalent activity, is the primary topic of this book. Our goals are to outline the fundamentals of surface computing (a still maturing technology), review relevant work on collaborative data analysis, describe frameworks for understanding collaborative processes, and provide a better understanding of the opportunities for research and development. We describe surfaces as display technologies with which people can interact directly, and emphasize how interaction design changes when designing for large surfaces. We review efforts to use large displays, surfaces or mixed display environments to enable collaborative analytic activity. Collaborative analysis is important in many domains, but to provide concrete examples and a specific focus, we frequently consider analysis work in the security domain, and in particular the challenges security personnel face in securing networks from attackers, and intelligence analysts encounter when analyzing intelligence data. Both of these activities are becoming increasingly collaborative endeavors, and there are huge opportunities for improving collaboration by leveraging surface computing. This work highlights for interaction designers and software developers the particular challenges and opportunities presented by interaction with surfaces. We have reviewed hundreds of recent research papers, and report on advancements in the fields of surface-enabled collaborative analytic work, interactive techniques for surface technologies, and useful theory that can provide direction to interaction design work. We also offer insight into issues that arise when developing applications for multi-touch surfaces derived from our own experiences creating collaborative applications. We present these insights at a level appropriate for all members of the software design and development team.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書的主要主題是大型表面計算設備(壁掛式或桌面式)與觸控界面以及它們在協作數據分析中的應用,這是一項日益重要且普遍的活動。我們的目標是概述表面計算的基礎(一種仍在發展中的技術),回顧相關的協作數據分析工作,描述理解協作過程的框架,並提供對研究和開發機會的更好理解。我們將表面描述為人們可以直接互動的顯示技術,並強調在設計大型表面時互動設計的變化。我們回顧了使用大型顯示器、表面或混合顯示環境來實現協作分析活動的努力。協作分析在許多領域中都很重要,但為了提供具體的例子和特定的焦點,我們經常考慮安全領域中的分析工作,特別是安全人員在保護網絡免受攻擊者侵害時所面臨的挑戰,以及情報分析人員在分析情報數據時遇到的問題。這兩個活動都越來越成為協作的努力,利用表面計算可以大大改善協作。本書突出了互動設計師和軟件開發人員在與表面互動時所面臨的特殊挑戰和機遇。我們回顧了數百篇最近的研究論文,並報告了表面協作分析工作、表面技術的互動技術以及有用的理論在互動設計工作中提供方向的進展。我們還提供了從我們自己開發協作應用的經驗中獲得的有關開發多點觸控表面應用程序時出現的問題的見解。我們以適合軟件設計和開發團隊的所有成員的水平呈現這些見解。
