A Stanford University research group explores how design alternatives for tabletop interfaces can impact group dynamics to promote effective teamwork. They built and evaluated a series of novel prototypes that explore Multi-User Coordination Policies and cooperative gesturing, encouraging equitable participation in educational tasks and supporting social skills development for special-needs populations.
