Abstract: "In the 1970's Xerox PARC developed the 'desktop metaphor, ' which made computers easy to use by making them look and act like ordinary desks and paper. This led visionaries to predict the 'paperless office' would dominate within a few years, but the trouble with this prediction is that people like paper too much. It is portable, tactile, universally accepted, and easier to read than a screen. Today, we continue to use paper, and computers produce more of it than they replace. Instead of trying to use computers to replace paper, the DigitalDesk takes the opposite approach. It keeps the paper, but uses computers to make it more powerful. It provides a Computer Augmented Environment for paper. The DigitalDesk is built around an ordinary physical desk and can be used as such, but it has extra capabilities.
