Interaction techniques for shared displays in collocated environments present a number of challenges. The proposed research examines the affordances of tabletop, large wall-mounted, and hand-held displays to determine how each best supports specific tasks during face-to-face collaboration, and how each can augment the other. Investigations of novel multi-touch interaction techniques and techniques for use at a distance from the display are being conducted, especially in collaborative environments where mutual awareness of each other's workflow must be traded off against interference and distraction by one user's interaction with another's workflow. Privacy and security issues arise in ad hoc collaborations, where mutual trust cannot be assumed. In these situations the usability of privacy features becomes an important concern that is being studied. Classroom and meeting room presentations on shared displays are of special interest. Research in actual classrooms with special-purpose software to support multiple projectors extends standard PowerPoint presentations to much larger screen areas more like traditional multi-blackboard "chalk talk" lectures. Specific pedagogical hypotheses and new ways to engage students as active participants, rather than simply passive receptors, will be tested. Novel uses of personal response systems ("clickers") to support "hands on" learning by large groups of students are being designed to examine how technology can enrich classroom experience. Augmented, mixed, and hybrid reality each offer another avenue for research on shared displays. In this case the displays are super-imposed or embedded in physical objects. Interaction techniques that flow seamlessly back and forth between the real and virtual representations of the objects or the information underlying them are being studied. Recent work on multi-projector augmented reality techniques for architectural plans will be continued in a number of directions.

用于并置环境中的共享显示器的交互技术提出了许多挑战。拟议的研究检查桌面，大型壁挂式和手持显示器的功能，以确定每个显示器如何在面对面协作期间最好地支持特定任务，以及每个显示器如何增强其他显示器。正在进行对新颖的多点触摸交互技术和在距显示器一定距离处使用的技术的研究，特别是在协作环境中，其中必须权衡对彼此的工作流的相互意识与一个用户与另一个用户的工作流的交互的干扰和分心。隐私和安全问题出现在临时协作中，在这种协作中，不能假设相互信任。在这些情况下，隐私功能的可用性成为正在研究的重要问题。 在共享显示器上的教室和会议室演示特别有趣。在实际教室中使用支持多个投影仪的专用软件进行的研究将标准PowerPoint演示文稿扩展到更大的屏幕区域，更像传统的多黑板“粉笔谈话”讲座。具体的教学假设和新的方法，让学生作为积极的参与者，而不仅仅是被动的受体，将进行测试。新的使用个人反应系统（“点击器”），以支持“动手”学习的大群体的学生正在设计，以研究如何技术可以丰富课堂经验。 增强现实、混合现实和混合现实都为共享显示器的研究提供了另一条途径。在这种情况下，显示器被叠加或嵌入在物理对象中。人们正在研究在物体的真实的和虚拟的表示或它们背后的信息之间无缝地来回流动的交互技术。最近的工作多投影增强现实技术的建筑计划将继续在一些方向。
