Abstract.Large screens or projections in public and private settings have become part of our daily lives, as they enable the collaboration and presentation of information in many diverse ways. When discussing the shown information with other persons, we often point to a displayed object with our index finger or a laser pointer in order to talk about it. Although mobile phone-based interactions with remote screens have been investigated intensively in the last decade, none of them considered such direct pointing interactions for application in everyday tasks. In this paper, we present the concept and design space of PointerPhone which enables users to directly point at objects on a remote screen with their mobile phone and interact with them in a natural and seamless way. We detail the design space and distinguish three categories of interactions including low-level interactions using the mobile phone as a precise and fast pointing device, as well as an input and output device. We detail the category of widgetlevel interactions. Further, we demonstrate versatile high-level interaction techniques and show their application in a collaborative presentation scenario. Based on the results of a qualitative study, we provide design implications for application designs.

Abstract. Besides key presses and text input, modern mobile devices support advanced interactions like taking pictures, gesturing, reading NFC-tags, as well as supporting physiological and environmental sensors. Implementing applications that benefit of this variety of interactions is still difficult. Support for developers and interaction designers remains basic and tools and frameworks are rare. This paper presents a prototyping environment that allows quickly and easily creating fully functional, high-fidelity prototypes deployable on the actual devices. With this work, we target the gap between paper prototyping and integrated development environments. Additionally, new interaction techniques can be significantly faster or slower to use than conventional mobile user interfaces. Hence it is essential to assess the impact of interface design decisions on interaction time. Additionally, the presented tool supports implicit and explicit user performance evaluations during all phases of prototyping. This approach builds on the original as well as extensions of the Keystroke-Level Model (KLM) which allows estimating interaction times in early phases of the development with a simulated prototype. An underlying state graph structure enables automatic checks of the application logic. This tool helps user interface designers and developers to create efficient and consistent novel applications.

“…First, the displays need support for functional coupling before users can utilize the display as an additional UI element in their application structures. This fundamental requirement has lead to research on device pairing [3,4], where a public display is logically coupled with user's personal mobile device. During the pairing, users can influence the display's behavior through both control and content from personal mobile devices [5].…”

Abstract. This paper reports performance metrics and end-user perceptions of a display leasing service, introduced for a network of public displays. Through leasing, users can acquire a temporary ownership of a public display and utilize it as an application UI element together with a personal mobile device. We argue that this functionality is necessary as the quantity of public displays grows, in order to facilitate public resource utilization and alleviate patterns such as queuing and polling. We implemented a prototype of the leasing service and conducted a field trial with a real-world city centre scenario, through which we analyze the service's signaling overhead and key deployment challenges.
