Abstract. The subject of this paper is to compare two different modality multi-touch interactive surfaces based on both: user experience and results of measurements in order to examine how different properties influence usefulness, in specific, their fitness to act as a``coffee table''. Tests were conducted on the Microsoft PixelSense (AKA Surface) and a Samsung touch screen overlay both 40+ inches diagonally. The study covers analysis of obtained measurements and summary of user experience collected over a number of summits and experiments. While tests for both devices returned very similar results, with the overlay more favorable, neither device could truly fit the tested use case due to their inconvenience, form factor and other issues.
