Our paper illustrates the proposed system to eliminate common challenges in facing group activities problems such as time wasting, Lack of communication and the most crucially was the inability to integrate different work parts correctly. It also introduces two major cooperation concepts supported which are the merging and splitting. The Merging concept allows users to merge tables together in order to form a large multi-touch table, Whilst the Splitting concept allows users to split a table display into several private areas where each user has their own personal work space. Users can interact together through private areas or a public area which is accessible to all users. Finally, An experiment conducted to measure users’ satisfaction and usability of hexagonal multi-touch tables. It showed that such an approach can yield an implementation that was extremely competitive
