Abstract
Current desktop workspace environments consist of a vertical area (e.g., a screen with a virtual desktop) and a horizontal area (e.g., the physical desk). Daily working activities benefit from different intrinsic properties of both of these areas. However, both areas are distinct from each other, making data exchange between them cumbersome. Therefore, we present Curve, a novel interactive desktop environment, which combines advantages of vertical and horizontal working areas using a continous curved connection. This connection offers new ways of direct multi-touch interaction and new ways of information visualization. We describe our basic design, the ergonomic adaptions we made, and discuss technical challenges we met and expect to meet while building and configuring the system.
