Metamouse: multiple mice for legacy applications
Information and Communication Technologies and Development（2009）
摘要
Single Display Groupware (SDG) solutions have been used to create software for disadvantaged children, particularly in the developing world. SDG allows for greater utilization of the limited infrastructure available to these kids. However, SDG faces challenges in working with legacy applications. Our technology, called metamouse, takes a step toward an integrated multi-user application by allowing users to collaborate within unmodified legacy educational software. We conducted a preliminary qualitative user study of our technology with educational software in schools around Bangalore, India. We found that Metamouse is easily learned, encourages collaborative discussion among students, and allows for the use of existing educational applications with no modification.
