Figure 1: An example design for interaction with large display with the proxemics (the spatial attributes) of users and objects within the environ-ment. In this example, the users can perform operations on a focus+context lens created from a visualization using proxemics. Multimodal environments are becoming increasingly common for solving various collaborative sensemaking and analytics tasks, and have gained interest as ubiquitous analytics (ubilytics) systems. My research work attempts to built interactions that span multiple de-vices and support multimodal input, and frameworks that can syn-chronize views and interaction of users at a software level in the multidevice ecosystems. I further utilize these research contribu-tions in building a system that can bypass the known problems of various device modalities (example: limited screen space of mobile computers) by utilizing other real world objects (such as the surface of the table) to compensate for the liabilities of these devices.
