Smart Interaction Management: An Interaction Approach for Smart Meeting Rooms

Understanding information and gaining insights about information usually means interacting with the displayed information. Utilizing the new capabilities of smart meeting rooms, visual outputs of different information representation applications are presented according to the user´s needs. In this paper we present smart interaction management. This interaction approach enables the users to interact with all displayed views, utilizing the novel capabilities of these environments while still being able to interact with applications in a conventional manner using local devices. We further show two use cases demonstrating typical applications of our approach in such multi-display environments: (1) to modify the arrangement and layout of views and (2) to interact with the displayed information within a view.
