Groupware must be flexible so that it can be incorporated into a variety of workspaces in order to successfully facilitate this type of mixed presence collaboration. We have developed two new techniques for sharing and synchronizing multi-user applications between heterogeneous large-scale shared displays. The first new technique partitions displays into a perfectly mirrored public space and a local private space. The second new technique enables user-controlled partial synchronization, where different attributes of an application can be synchronized or controlled independently. This paper presents two main contributions of our work: 1) identifying deficiencies in current groupware for interacting with data during mixed presence collaboration, and 2) developing two multi-user data synchronization techniques to address these deficiencies and extend current collaborative infrastructure for large-scale shared displays. Author Keywords: Mixed presence collaboration; computer-supported cooperative work; large-scale displays; multi-user interaction; data synchronization. ACM Classification Keywords: H.5.3. Information Interfaces and Presentation: Group and Organization Interfaces: Computer-supported cooperative work, synchronous interaction.
