Mobile Information and Large Public Displays

Interaction with large displays in a public space using the Kinect sensor

As technology evolves, computer and television screens have become increasingly thinner and cheaper. This has allowed these screens to be used in public locations such as airports, lobbies of buildings, etc., presenting relevant information to the people passing by. The use of these screens, however, presents a challenge in how information is displayed and how people can interact with it. Often...

BYOD: Bring Your Own Device

In this work, we examine the different types of user interactions and deployment issues surrounding large public displays. We then select and develop a usage paradigm in which people use personal devices to interact with large public displays. Lastly, we present a physical interface for interacting with large public displays based on camera-enabled mobile phones. Our interface uses both Visual ...

Dynamic NFC-Displays as a Prototyping Platform for Direct Mobile Interactions with Public Displays

Mobile interaction with public displays is usually indirect and depends on the limited input features of mobile devices. Dynamic NFC-displays combine the simplicity and directness of mobile interaction with NFC-tagged, physical objects and the visual output capabilities of public displays. In this paper, we explore this technology as a prototyping platform for the development of more direct and...

SimSense: Gestural Interaction Design for Information Exchange between Large Public Displays and Personal Mobile Devices

Enhancing Privacy in Public Spaces Through Crossmodal Displays

The authors introduce the notion of a crossmodal display as a proposal for enhancing the privacy of public information displays. The selection of appropriate display technology and interaction techniques relies on an understanding of the public–private nature of information and the spaces from which it is accessed. The crossmodal display framework supports multiple users simultaneously accessin...
