3D mobile interactions for public displays

Abstract

We propose the use of 3D mobile interactions as a way to give public displays viewers (users) new ways to collaborate among them with the public display. Getting and maintaining the user attention is one of the main struggles of public displays but previous research has shown that collaboration among viewers are able to engage users with public displays more. Our proposed 3D mobile interactions for public displays utilize mobile devices as 3D user interfaces to facilitate the use of the user's natural skills to control 3D content. The 3D content can also be positioned outside the public display, which let us explore new interaction techniques. We present a prototype of our 3D mobile interaction that demonstrates the proposed interaction as well as describes one of the use case scenarios.
