abstract High resolution displays (HRD) are capable of visualizing complex and large data without sacrificing context or detail. They open new perspectives for collaborative work in multi user / multiple devices environments and offer great opportunities for pinboard-like spatial information management. With the new capabilities the users get confronted with so far unknown information amount and density on interactive displays. Thus, HRDs introduce a number of interaction challenges not addressed by conventional graphical user interface metaphors and traditional input devices. The talk will address the opportunities and challenges of HRDs and discuss conventional and novel input devices as well as interaction and visualization techniques.
