My MDE: configuring virtual workspaces in multi-display environments

Published: 21 April 2006 Publication History

Abstract

A low fidelity study was conducted to investigate how users envision configuring their virtual workspace in a multiple display environment (MDE). The results of a low-fidelity prototyping study revealed two primary virtual workspace organisation patterns: Environment-centric and User-centric workspaces. These depict different ways in which users conceived they would configure multiple displays into a single cohesive virtual workspace. The paper then discusses future design implications, specifically the need for the support of multiple user preferences in collaborative MDEs.
