| Summary
|
To allow for easier moving of objects across large screens, three techniques were devised: shuffling drags an object sideways to open space for others, throwing sends an object far away by pulling towards you then pointing the other way (like a slingshot). Taking allows you to remove an object by placing a hand over it, then tapping somewhere else to put it back.

| Description
|
Geissler et al. (1998) developed a set of interaction techniques for the DynaWall - a large interactive workspace aimed at supporting project teams. Shuffling allows moving objects on the screen by drawing a directed stroke with a stylus. This is meant for moving objects in a medium-sized area. Throwing is meant to support movement of objects across large distances and is achieved by making a stroke in the opposite direction of where the object is meant to be moved, followed by a longer stroke in the originally intended direction. Finally, taking is achieved by placing a hand on an object and waiting half a second for the object to disappear behind the hand. Laying the hand on another part of the wall makes the object reappear.
