What is Wrong with Digital Documents? Most people don't understand the logic of the concept: "What You See Is What You Get" is based on printing the document out ("get" means "get WHEN YOU PRINT IT OUT"). And that means a metaphysical shift: a document can only consist of what can be printed! [...] No overlays [...] – PAPER UNDER GLASS.

What is Wrong with Slideware? ▪ Simulation of physical slides ▪ limited space due to slide concept ▪ linear navigation ▪ monolithic documents ▪ difficult to reuse content and embed rich media types
MindXpres Presentation Platform ▪ Flexible representation of presentations ▪ use of structural RSL links ▪ separation of content and structure ▪ Extensible platform ▪ content-based approach ▪ cross-media content reuse via transclusion ▪ non-linear navigation and zoomable user interface ▪ associative linking ▪ rich media types R. Roels and B. Signer, MindXpres: An Extensible Content-driven Cross-Media Presentation Platform, Proceedings of WISE 2014

Different context-dependent adaptive overlay structures on top of (parts of) content Clear separation between content and structure enables cross-media content reuse (transclusion)

XR-based Interaction ▪ Controlling individual IoT devices ▪ Define relationships and rules between IoT devices ▪ Linking any physical artefact to other physical artefacts or digital information and services ▪ use of natural (pointing) gestures and interactions ▪ “drag and drop” between IoT devices Elena Zambon Tangible Holograms (TangHo)
