As a result, a new field called Tabletop Computing (Off the Desktop Computing) has emerged. In this talk, I will offer glimpses into some of the ongoing research and development endeavors around the world, including our own, that have begun to put these interactive tabletops into the realm of social and visual computing, as well as educational and pedagogical applications. I will touch upon the impact, the challenges and open research questions that have stemmed from these new efforts. Upcoming IIC Seminars: Continue to stay up to date with our IIC Seminar Schedule.
