Factors Affecting the Adoption of Large Display Groupware Applications
back to projects

project summary

The affordances of large displays make them an appealing medium for groupware; they are easily viewed and shared by groups and therefore lend themselves to providing lightweight awareness information and facilitating collaboration. Large displays in general are inherently different from conventional single-user displays; leading to differences in their adoption. In this work, we analyze the differences between the adoption of large display groupware and conventional desktop groupware and identify key factors that have affected the successful deployment of several large display groupware projects
