| Abstract |
Current projectors can easily be combined to create an everywhere
display, using all suitable surfaces in offices or
meeting rooms for the presentation of information. However,
the resulting irregular display is not well supported by traditional
desktop window managers, which are optimized for
rectangular screens. In this paper, we present novel displayadaptive
window management techniques, which provide
semi-automatic placement for desktop elements (such as
windows or icons) for users of large, irregularly shaped displays.
We report results from an exploratory study, which
reveals interesting emerging strategies of users in the manipulation
of windows on large irregular displays and shows that
the new techniques increase subjective satisfaction with the
window management interface. |
