Tables provide a large and natural interface for supporting direct manipulation of visual content, for human-to-human interactions and for collaboration, coordination, and parallel problem solving. However, the direct-touch table metaphor also presents considerable challenges, including the need for input methods that transcend traditional mouse- and keyboard-based designs.
