In this talk I will present my latest research around pen- and paper-computing, looking at how multimodal interaction with this “old” technology enables a range of novel affordances and supports communication and interaction. I will focus on three projects that outline the importance of paper computing in different domains. (1) I will talk about our experiences in developing a Toolkit for Authoring Pen and Paper Language Activities (TAP & PLAY) and how this allowed us to explore paper-based interfaces for communication with more than 100 people from age 3 to 105. (2) I will present how the integration of paper-based annotations and interactions as part of ChronoViz – a tool that we developed to support the visualization, navigation and analysis of large sets of time-based data – enables the exploration of new exciting methods for observational research. (3) I will discuss our vision in terms of supporting a better integration of paper documents within an augmented office environment, where we make use of depth-information, pan-and-zoom cameras, touch-, gesture-, and pen-based interactions to access and interact with information spread across physical and digital devices.
