Digital Ink Abstraction Most frameworks and toolkits define their own proprietary digital ink representation  existing standards (e.g. InkML) are often not used  is there a need for new common data formats? Common data formats can help to  exchange data between applications and across different interactive paper frameworks  realise mixed-media environmentsPaperComp 2010, September 26, 2010 Beat Signer - Vrije Universiteit Brussel - bsigner@vub.ac.be

Scalability and Application Deployment Problem of existing augmented paper solutions  isolated applications  missing cross-application interaction Interactive Paper 2.0  global and open architecture  unique resolving of interactive paper services based on a global paper lookup service (PLS) - automatic application deployment  service oriented architecture to enable cross- application interaction and compositionPaperComp 2010, September 26, 2010 Beat Signer - Vrije Universiteit Brussel - bsigner@vub.ac.be

Visual and Interaction Design Visualisation of interactive areas and functionality • design patterns Interaction design EdFest Project, 2004 • online versus offline input processing • lack of modal dialogues EdFest Project, 2005 • multimodal interaction Findings might be applicable to traditional GUIs  e.g. cross-application widget interactionPaperComp 2010, September 26, 2010 Beat Signer - Vrije Universiteit Brussel - bsigner@vub.ac.be

Innovative Hardware and Materials Mobile solutions for feedback on paper documents • spatially aware pro- jection of information • digital pen with display • voice feedback MouseLight, Song et al., 2010 • ... Fusion of electronic paper and interactive paper • printed electronics PaperWorks Project, 2007PaperComp 2010, September 26, 2010 Beat Signer - Vrije Universiteit Brussel - bsigner@vub.ac.be

Paper-Digital Authoring and Publishing Manual authoring Content-driven publishing • e.g. EdFest brochure • integration with third- party applications iPaper Manual Authoring Tool • what about versioning? Automatic link authoring • e.g. Print-n-Link Collaborative authoring Print-n-Link, 2006PaperComp 2010, September 26, 2010 Beat Signer - Vrije Universiteit Brussel - bsigner@vub.ac.be

Conclusions Various approaches for interactive paper and paper computing  are we missing a common abstraction layer in existing architectures and do we need Interactive Paper 2.0? It might be the right time to think about the integration of existing solutions to share efforts  cross-disciplinary workshops - e.g. CoPADD and PaperComp  Network of Excellence (NoE)?PaperComp 2010, September 26, 2010 Beat Signer - Vrije Universiteit Brussel - bsigner@vub.ac.be
