abstract     : This paper presents novel techniques and metaphors for on-demand visual workspaces in everyday office environments, providing space-efficient, flexible and highly interactive graphical user interfaces using projected displays. For increased resolution, contents personalization and interactive visualization, the users can augment the large-scale projections with dynamic high-resolution foveal enhancements using a pocket light metaphor. To further optimize the presentation at a given resolution, the design of the displays can be modified interactively, and like a jigsaw puzzle, the layout can be customized using an adaptive compositing approach which supports freeform focus-and-context rendering. With a unified intensity-based tracking approach, we allow for natural multitouch interaction with the information space through bare hands, pointers and pens on arbitrary surfaces.
