ABSTRACT
Tabletop computers have been set out to change the way people work by providing a display on the table surface. Still they're only flat displays with digital content behind a glass screen. Tangibles extended the interface into the third dimension. However, the content still sticks mostly to the screen or is projected onto rigid objects. In this work, we present OverTop, a concept for providing a full three-dimensional interaction experience for both content and interface. We introduce three different layers, where both content and interfaces can be presented: Below, On, and Above. Using these three layers, OverTop extends the design space of tabletop interfaces to the area above traditional tabletop workplaces, opening up new interaction and visualization possibilities.

Expressive touch: studying tapping force on tabletops
CHI '14: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis paper investigates users' ability to perform force-sensitive tapping and explores its potential as an input modality in touch-based systems. We study force-sensitive tapping using Expressive Touch, a tabletop interface that infers tapping force ...
Typing on flat glass: examining ten-finger expert typing patterns on touch surfaces
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsTouch screen surfaces large enough for ten-finger input have become increasingly popular, yet typing on touch screens pales in comparison to physical keyboards. We examine typing patterns that emerge when expert users of physical keyboards touch-type on ...
Direct-touch vs. mouse input for tabletop displays
CHI '07: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe investigate the differences -- in terms of bothquantitative performance and subjective preference -- between direct-touch and mouse input for unimanual andbimanual tasks on tabletop displays. The results of twoexperiments show that for bimanual tasks ...
