A Display Table for Strategic Collaboration Preserving Private and Public Information

We propose a new display table that allows multiple users to interact with both private and public information on a shared display in a face-to-face co-located setting. With this table users can create, manage and share information intuitively, strategically and cooperatively by naturally moving around the display. Users can interactively control private and public information space seamlessly according to their spatial location and motion. It enables users to dynamically choose negotiation partners, create cooperative relationships and strategically control the information they share and conceal. We see the proposed system as especially suited for strategic cooperative tasks in which participants collaborate while attempting to increase individual benefits, such as various trading floor-like and auction scenarios.
