Lit Review - A who's who in public display research

So I've been reading a lot of ACM Public Display papers recently. Let me apologize in advance for only focusing on publications available in ACM's Guide, but in any case there are few names in research that have a lot of public display publications, and I wanted to highlight them and their current location here.

Elizabeth Churchill – “Plasma Posters, and many other Public Display focused research” Currently at Yahoo Research, has worked at FX-Palo Alto, and PARC.

Daniel M. Russell – “Blueboard and MERCBoard”
Currently at Google (I think), did his BlueBoard and MERCBoard research at IBM Almaden.

Harry Brignall & Yvonne Rogers – “Dynamo”
Work was done at the University of Sussex’s Interact Lab

Joe McCarthy – “Outcast and Groupcast and Public Reactive Displays”
Started out at Accenture, was at Intel Seattle for a little bit, tried a startup to do reactive public displays, currently at Nokia’s Research Lab in Palo Alto.

In short, the people that are publishing a lot of public display work are either in England or in Palo Alto.
