Benefits of interactive display environments in the software development process

Models become increasingly important for software development processes. Though there is a multitude of software modeling tools available, the handling of diagrams is still difficult. To overcome these problems we propose the usage of novel visualization and interaction techniques for the software development process, including multi-touch displays, the integration of diagrams drawn by hand and the interaction through zoomable user interfaces.
