What is CHI '00 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems - CHI '00 - The pebbles project about?

Increasingly, people will be in situations where they have multiple communicating computing devices available at the same time. The Pebbles research project is investigating many ways that a hand-held computer such as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) can serve as a useful adjunct to the PC in those situations. We have created a large set of applications to support group work in meetings and individual work at the desktop. These run on both Palm Pilots and Windows CE devices, along with a PC. As an example, each hand-held computer can control the main PC's cursor and keyboard to support collaboration. For an individual giving a slide show, the notes and controls for the show can be on the hand-held, while the main computer is running the show. This demonstration will show the large variety of Pebbles applications.
