Summary: Shared Interactive Surfaces allow co-located users to collaboratively work
on a task. As current technology often is not able to distinguish between
different users, there is a potential for concurrent conflicting actions of
multiple users, leading to unwanted results and accordingly frustration. With
our concepts for Task-Based Focus and AdHoc-Focus-Territory we provide
light-weight solutions Integrated in our toolkit TUIOFX -- for designers of
multi-user, multi-touch applications. Our solution helps to overcome some of
the problems of anonymous touch input, without an immediate need for more
heavy-weight mechanisms like user identification.
