Requirements and Metaphors of Shared Interaction

This document is COMIC Deliverable D4.1 “Requirements and metaphors of shared interaction”. It presents results from the first year of COMIC on the topic of novel mechanisms of group interaction. These results consider interaction with shared objects and the modelling of spatial action around these objects.
