ActivitySpace: Managing Device Ecologies in an Activity-Centric Configuration Space

To mitigate multi-device interaction problems (such as lack of control, intelligibility and context), ActivitySpace provides an activity-centric configuration space that enables users to integrate and work across several devices by using the space between the devices. We report on a study with 9 participants that shows that ActivitySpace helps users to easily manage devices and their allocated resources while exposing a number of usage patterns.
