Abstract

The AlloSphere provides multiuser spatial interaction through a curved surround screen and surround sound. Two projects illustrate how researchers employed the AlloSphere to investigate the combined use of personal-device displays and the shared display. Another two projects combined multiuser interaction with multiagent systems. These projects point to directions for future ensemble-style collaborative interaction.
