Traditional paper keeps being widely used in learning and knowledge work because it has many benefits over digital media. However, the simultaneous work with paper and digital documents leads to disruptive transitions, particularly because interaction techniques differ in both worlds. Moreover, physical documents cannot be easily shared with co-workers. The field of pen-and-paper applications has the goal to overcome these limitations by tightly bridging traditional paper with computers.
In this talk, I will first provide an overview on pen-and-paper applications and then present the research project CoScribe. CoScribe is a "digital desk" that supports scientists, students and office workers in their work with documents. Paper and digital documents can be used together on the same interactive tabletop surface. Electronic pens and novel paper-based interaction techniques provide for easily making handwritten annotations, creating own hyperlinks, and tagging documents. The results of several user studies show that CoScribe efficiently supports knowledge workers by enhancing both work performance and user satisfaction.
Jürgen Steimle is a post-doctoral researcher at the computer science department of Darmstadt University of Technology and is heading the Tangible Interaction area within the Telecooperation Group. His research interests are at the intersection of tangible user interfaces and knowledge media. From 2006 to 2009, he prepared his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Max Mühlhäuser as a scholar of the DFG Postgraduate School eLearning.
Before joining Darmstadt University of Technology, Jürgen studied computer science and french at the Albert Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany and at the University Lumière Lyon 2 in Lyon, France. During his studies, he was a scholar of the German National Merit Foundation.
His research was awarded the Outstanding Full Paper Award at "IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT)" in 2008, the Best Paper Award at "eLearning Fachtagung Informatik (DeLFI)" in 2007 and was nominated for the European eLearning Award (EureleA) in 2009.
