Designing and Examining PC to Palm Collaboration
One trend in day-to-day computing involves moving seamlessly from large powerful workstations to small handheld devices. A second trend is continuous collaboration with colleagues. Combining these trends requires solutions to both the problem of transferring large complex displays to smaller less capable devices and of ensuring that a viable collaboration takes place even when the collaborators are using vastly different tools and viewing screen environments that differ significantly in display richness. We briefly describe an architecture for managing displays across multiple platforms, which we call the Manifold framework. This architecture is incorporated into applications using our DISCIPLE collaboration system. We explore the use of Manifold by creating a 3-dimensional layout task that communicates with a 2-dimensional version of this task running on a Palm Pilot that is wirelessly connected to the Internet. In order to get measurable data on the collaboration problems and succes...
