▼ On a daily basis humans interact with an increasing variety of personal electronic devices, ranging from laptops, tablets, smartphones, and e-readers to shared devices such as projected displays and interactive, digital tabletops. An emerging area of study focuses on understanding how these devices can be used together to support collaborative work. Where prior research has shown benefits of devices used individually, there is currently a lack of understanding of how devices should be used in conjunction to optimize a group's performance. In particular, the research presented in this dissertation combines qualitative and quantitative analyses of group work in three empirical studies to link the use of shared and personal devices to changes in group performance and process. In the first study, participants performed an optimization task with either a single, shared projected display or with the shared, projected display and personal laptops. Analyses of study data indicated that when personal displays were present, group performance was improved for the optimization task (p = 0.025). However, personal devices also reduced a group's ability to coordinate (p = 0.016). Additionally, when personal devices were present, individuals primarily used those devices instead of dividing time between their laptops and the shared display. To further investigate the support that shared displays provide groups, and in particular, how shared displays might support group work in multi-display settings, a follow-up study was conducted. The second study investigated how two different types of shared displays supported group work. In particular, shared workspaces, which allowed multiple users to simultaneously interact with shared content, and status displays, which provided awareness of the overall problem state to groups, were investigated. While no significant impact on group performance was observed between the two shared display types, qualitative analysis of groups working in these conditions provided insight into how the displays supported collaborative activities. Shared workspace displays provided a visual reference that aided individuals in grounding communication with their collaborators. On the other hand, status displays enabled the monitoring of a group's overall task progress. Regardless of which display was present, an individual's gaze and body position relative to the shared display supported the synchronization of group activities. Finally, where the previous two studies identified collaborative activities that were supported by the use of shared and personal displays, the experimental task performed by participants did not explore the transfer of task materials between shared and personal devices or alternative personal and shared devices. The third study addressed these limitations through the adoption of a new experimental task that enabled the exploration of how the manipulation of task artefacts supported collaborative activities, and alternative shared and personal devices in the form of…

▼ This research explores how new collaboration technology can be designed to enhance distributed collaboration in particular complex work settings. Collaboration in work environments increasingly involves complex interactions between individuals and teams working across geographical, institutional and professional boundaries. This research addresses the challenges of supporting real-time communication and information sharing between different teams and across variable local settings. These issues are explored within the context of developing collaborative workspaces which integrate sophisticated video conferencing and information sharing technologies in multi-display environments. This research aims to understand the characteristics of interactions that a collaborative workspace needs to support and how to design a collaborative workspace for collaboration across different local settings without compromising the integrity of local work practices. The research issues were explored through three case studies in three work domains: multidisciplinary medical team meetings in two hospitals, collaboration in a national committee responsible for the emergency response to animal disease, and scientific collaboration across containment barriers in a biosecurity laboratory. Workplace studies were conducted in each of the studies. The case studies were research components of design-oriented projects carried out by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) with aims to inform the design of a collaborative workspace within each domain. The case studies are the empirical contributions of this thesis. This research has shown that a set of socio-technical factors relating variations in local physical settings, information sharing practices and organizational contexts can influence the dynamics of collaboration across different local settings. The results highlight different kinds and levels of configuration work required in designing collaborative workspaces. These include the careful integration of physical settings with information sharing practices, the appropriate configuration of collaborative workspaces to enable diversity of local practices and the configuration of collaborative workspaces at an organizational level and in the context of coordinative practices. The results of the study have contributed to the development and deployment of an integrated collaboration platform in a scientific laboratory and have demonstrated that a generic collaborative workspace can be extended by components developed in response to the specific requirements of the work of the local setting. A set of design guidelines has been developed that can be used to guide the design and development of collaborative workspaces which provide coherent collaboration environments across different already existing local settings while respecting the variations within local practices.

▼ Los juegos serios colaborativos tienen un impacto positivo en el comportamiento y el aprendizaje, pero siguen desarrollándose para plataformas tecnológicas tradicionales como videoconsolas y ordenadores de sobremesa o portátiles, los cuales han sido identificados como sub-óptimos para niños en diversos estudios. En su lugar, el uso de dispositivos móviles como tabletas y teléfonos inteligentes presenta diversas ventajas: son económicamente asequibles, están ampliamente distribuidos, y pueden ser transportados, lo cual permite la actividad física y poder iniciar un juego sin necesitar que los usuarios se trasladen a una localización fija, especialmente dedicada para tal fin. Además, combinar varios de estos dispositivos y coordinar la interacción entre ellos en lo que se denomina Entorno Multi-Pantalla (EMP) proporciona beneficios adicionales para la colaboración tales como una mayor escalabilidad, conciencia del espacio de trabajo, paralelismo y fluidez de las interacciones. La interacción en estos entornos multi-tableta es por tanto un aspecto crítico. Los dispositivos móviles están diseñados para ser interactuados mediante el toque de los dedos principalmente, lo cual es muy sencillo y directo, pero está normalmente limitado a la pequeña dimensión de las pantallas, lo que puede conllevar la oclusión de la pantalla y la infrautilización del espacio periférico. Por esta razón, esta tesis se centra en la exploración de otro mecanismo de interacción que puede complementar al táctil: interacciones tangibles alrededor del dispositivo. Las interacciones tangibles están basadas en la manipulación de objetos físicos, lo que presenta un valor adicional en la educación de los niños puesto que resuena con los manipulativos educativos tradicionales y permite la exploración del mundo físico. Por otra parte, la explotación del espacio que envuelve a las pantallas tiene diversos beneficios adicionales para actividades educativas colaborativas: reducida oclusión de la pantalla (lo cual puede incrementar la conciencia del espacio de trabajo), el uso de objetos tangibles como contenedores de información digital que puede ser transportada de forma continua entre dispositivos, y la identificación de un determinado estudiante a través de la codificación de su ID en un operador tangible (lo cual facilita el seguimiento de sus acciones y progreso durante el juego). Esta tesis describe dos enfoques distintos para construir juegos educativos colaborativos en EMPs utilizando interacciones tangibles alrededor de los dispositivos. Una, denominada MarkAirs, es una solución óptica aérea que no necesita ningún hardware adicional aparte de las tabletas excepto diversas tarjetas de cartón impresas. La otra, Tangibot, introduce un robot tangiblemente controlado y otro atrezo físico en el entorno, y se basa en tecnología RFID. Ambas interacciones son respectivamente evaluadas, y se observa que MarkAirs es usable y poco exigente tanto para adultos como para niños, y que se pueden realizar con éxito gestos de grano fino encima de las tabletas con ella.… Advisors/Committee Members: Jaén Martínez, Francisco Javier (advisor).
