Sammanfattning
The one user one device paradigm has been prevalent since personal computers
became readily available. While there are mentions of cross-device related research
as far back as 1981, research on Cross-device interaction accelerated with Mark
Weisers article on Ubiquitous Computing. This was some thirty years ago and the
field of Cross-device interaction has become fragmented as the field expanded. As
an answer to the fragmented landscape in Cross-device interaction, Brudy et al.
recently set out to create a taxonomy to establish common ground for researchers
in the field. We use this unification of the Cross-device interaction field, to examine
how relevant the state of the art on Cross-device interaction is in the Building
Information Context. We do this by designing a set of interfaces for Sweco, a
European engineering consultancy company developing a tool for interacting with
Building Information Models across devices. In doing so, we carry out Research
Through Design. The results show that while the state of art on Cross-device
interaction is indeed useful, research on interaction techniques for moving between
devices have focused strongly on input modalities and technology which might not
be readily available in an enterprise context. Based on these results, we provide
a framework that aim at helping future designers make conscious decisions when
design for cross-device interaction, as well as a set of consolidated guidelines from
the state of art, to help designers create better experiences.
