位于同一位置的协作式Web浏览是一项相对常见的任务，但传统工具对它的支持很差。在此领域之前的研究主要集中在调整传统的浏览界面以增加协作支持。我们提出了另一种方法，借鉴桌面界面的思想。我们提出WebSurface，一个新颖的桌面界面，用于协作浏览网页。WebSurface探讨了这种方法的两个设计挑战：为易读的文本提供足够的分辨率；以及在信息中导航。我们报告了一项探索性用户研究的早期经验，在这项研究中，合作者使用WebSurface收集信息。研究结果表明，桌面协作Web浏览方法可以帮助解决传统工具的局限性，并为信息布局提供有益的支持。
Co-located collaborative Web browsing is a relatively common task and yet is poorly supported by conventional tools. Prior research in this area has focused on adapting conventional browsing interfaces to add collaboration support. We propose an alternative approach, drawing on ideas from tabletop interfaces. We present WebSurface, a novel tabletop interface for collaborative Web browsing. WebSurface explores two design challenges of this approach: providing sufficient resolution for legible text; and navigating through information. We report our early experiences with an exploratory user study, in which pairs of collaborators gathered information using WebSurface. The findings suggest that a tabletop approach for collaborative Web browsing can help address limitations of conventional tools, and presents beneficial affordances for information layout.
