This project will establish a collaboration between the University of California at Berkeley in the United States and the University of Paris-Sud and INRIA in France to explore architectures and interaction paradigms for multi-surface computing environments. Multi-surface environments are interactive workspaces that combine wall displays, handheld computing devices and traditional laptops. Such environments can be used to explore and manipulate "big data" in a variety of application domains, including product design, scientific discovery, decision-making and crisis management. Multi-surface computing environments raise multiple challenges: What are the appropriate interaction paradigms that make teams working in such spaces most effective? How can we facilitate successful collaboration among remote sites? What authoring tools and abstractions enable researchers to rapidly explore the space of multi-surface applications? This collaboration will contribute new theory, technology and empirical findings to understand remote collaboration in multi-surface environments. The project will build on the French DIGISCOPE project, which is creating a network of multi-surface environments for interactive and collaborative visualization. The researchers will extend the research from France to the US, and develop new techniques for remote collaboration between workspaces in both countries. The provided funds will be used for two main activities: 1) site visits to France to learn about the current DIGISCOPE architecture and hold research meetings; and 2) the construction of a high-resolution wall prototype at Berkeley to enable research into remote collaboration techniques. This prototype itself will serve as the primary communication tool between the US and French teams after initial visits.

该项目将建立美国加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校与法国巴黎大学和inria之间的合作，以探索用于多地表计算环境的建筑和互动范式。多表面环境是交互式工作区，结合了墙壁显示，手持计算设备和传统笔记本电脑。这些环境可用于在各种应用领域中探索和操纵“大数据”，包括产品设计，科学发现，决策和危机管理。多表面计算环境提出了多个挑战：哪些适当的交互范式使团队在此类空间中工作最有效？我们如何促进远程站点之间的成功协作？哪些创作工具和抽象使研究人员能够快速探索多表面应用程序的空间？这项合作将贡献新的理论，技术和经验发现，以了解多表面环境中的远程协作。该项目将建立在法国Digiscope项目的基础上，该项目正在创建一个多表面环境网络，用于交互式和协作可视化。研究人员将将研究从法国扩展到美国，并开发新技术，以供两国工作区之间的远程合作。提供的资金将用于两项主要活动：1）对法国的现场访问，以了解当前的Digiscope架构并举行研究会议； 2）在伯克利建造高分辨率墙原型，以研究远程协作技术。最初访问后，该原型本身将作为美国和法国团队之间的主要沟通工具。
