Abstract
In this chapter, we describe the design and development of co-located multi user collaborative displays that aim to support effective social interactions within a small group of professionals engaged in meeting activities. Several studies have investigated and tried to go beyond the design paradigm developed for single-user/singledesktop interaction in order to support face-to-face collaborative activities. Several helpful design principles have emerged from research on shared workspaces and colocated technologies.
