ABSTRACT
The vertical display, indirect input and distant communication in traditional Emergency Management Information System provide unintuitive human-computer-interaction, and thus reduce the efficiency of decision-making. This paper presents uEmergency, a multi-user collaborative system for emergency management on very large-scale interactive tabletop. It allows people to carry out face-to-face communication based on a horizontal global map. Real-time situation can be browsed and analyzed directly using their fingers and digital pens. In this paper, we also present the results of a study where two groups carried out a task for fighting forest fire based on this system. The results suggest that uEmergency can effectively help people manipulate objects, analyze situation and collaborate for coping with an emergency.

PiMarking: co-located collaborative digital annotating on large tabletops
ITS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfacesThere are situations under which co-located people are required to perform collaborative marking tasks: for example, human resource officers need to review resumes together and teachers need to grade answer sheets after an examination. In this poster, ...
uMeeting, an efficient co-located meeting system on the large-scale tabletop
HCII'11: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Human-computer interaction: users and applications - Volume Part IVIn this paper, we present the uMeeting system, a co-located meeting system on the large-scale tabletop. People are used to sitting around a table to hold a meeting. It is natural and intuitive. The table has a central role to support team activities. ...
Ubi-jector: an information-sharing workspace in casual places using mobile devices
MobileHCI '14: Proceedings of the 16th international conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices & servicesThe widespread use of mobile devices has transformed casual places into meeting places. However, in these places, it is uncommon to have shared information workspace such as a beam projector, making it inconvenient and inefficient to exchange ...
