Abstract

Active reading, involving acts such as highlighting, writing notes, etc., is an important part of knowledge workers' activities. Most computer based active reading support has sought to better replicate the affordances of paper. Instead, this dissertation seeks to go past paper by proposing a more flexible, fluid document representation, controlled through gesture and multitouch input. Formative evaluations revealed details about modern active reading behavior and early reactions to the prototype system. I discuss how these will inform the next design iteration, and current plans for a comparative study against other media.
