Stickie: Mobile Device Supported Spatial Collaborations

Abstract

Stickie is an application that enables people to remotely perform sticky note collaborations over the Internet by utilizing two highly ubiquitous workplace devices -- smartphones & TV screens. The phone acts as an interface between the tangible and digital space. Users can leave notes from their phones onto a TV screen by placing the phone itself on any ordinary non-touchscreen display. This research constructs a novel technique for sticky note brainstorming across the Internet. It extends the interaction spatially by incorporating cues of participants' physical expressions and activities.
