Abstract

Pen-and-Paper interaction (PPI) has recently gained attention as a form of tangible interaction, where normal paper is used in combination with a digtial pen to allow interaction with computer systems.

We argue, that the overlooked domain of mundane or everyday tasks requires additional attention and adds special requirements to supporting technologies and infrastructures. This is grounded on a case study in the domain of shopping planning support
