Tabletap: A Collaborative Web Application for Large Screen Surfaces Devices

Traditionally, humans use conventional tables at home, offices, and as design centers, these are elements found everywhere on which multiple tasks are performed. Such objects have the particularity to gather many individuals in order to carry out any collaborative tasks. Large Screen Surface is the digital evolution of tables, since they are large touch screens that can be set horizontally or vertically allowing multitouch interaction by many users. In recent years, interest in the development of applications for such devices has increased, since its screens offer a large visual field in high resolution; additionally, its physical configuration allows multiple users to work simultaneously in situ. This research proposes the development and implementation of Tabletap, a collaborative web application which allows multiple users to create content such as concept maps, moodboards, timelines, etc. Users have a collective library which contains visual resources such as videos, shapes, images and text input.
