Pervasive Information Visualization: Toward an Information Visualization Design Methodology for Multi-device Co-located Synchronous Collaboration

This paper looks at the potential of information visualization for multi-device co-located synchronous collaboration. That is, the capability of interactive graphical user interfaces to support face-to-face collaboration with networked devices such as large displays with motion recognition and mobile touchscreen devices. This is done by first considering how information visualization can be developed to fit the capabilities and limitations of different devices, then drafting a set of guidelines and recommendations for this type of application, and finally developing a simple prototype to demonstrate some of these guidelines in action. This shows us that that information visualization has the potential to support multi-device co-located synchronous collaborative and there is much promise for this type of software to be developed for a range of applications in the future.
