Extending shared hypermedia workspaces to face-to-face multitouch experiences

Abstract

Shared hypermedia workspaces provide cooperative access to and manipulation of emergent shared hypermedia structures. Most such workspace approaches focus on distributed users. We are currently extending shared hypermedia workspaces for distributed users with face-to-face multitouch experiences. Our approach applies multitouch single display groupware to shared hypermedia workspaces. As an application scenario we have selected the Scrum planning approach to software development. Scrum task boards are handled like shared hypermedia workspaces. We present a cooperative multitouch Scrum task board.
