Abstract
We present two early prototypes of a system that couples an augmented wall of paper notes with multiple handheld devices in order to support the process of affinity diagramming. Our system allows multiple users to work together simultaneously, freely interacting with potentially thousands of physical notes directly, and with a coupled digital representation of the same notes via a smart phone, tablet or PC. We propose the affinity diagramming process as a use-case well suited for distributed user interfaces.
