Description: John Jacob of the Texas Watershed Program will demonstrate their We-Table, a tool for participatory GIS on tabletops at public workshops. The We-Table transforms an ordinary tabletop into an interactive computer interface. This affordable participation tool allows teams to collaboratively explore and use computer based data and programs in a workshop setting.

The We-Table enhances what people use daily—tables and pens—while the supporting technology works quietly in the background. This means that participants can easily use the interface with very little instruction, and it allows them to work with what matters most in a meeting- data, maps, and their fellow participants.

Livable Houston Initiative meetings have been hosted by Houston Tomorrow for the last twelve years, on the fourth Wednesday of every month. The Houston-Galveston Area Council generously provides the meeting space.
