“…Our previous work [6] in this field has focused on providing a mid-size city with an open public display infrastructure with the goal of making the authoring of public display services more accessible to the general public, requiring only basic web design and development skills. This public display infrastructure uses a Web-based screen real-estate partitioning framework for large public displays [3] that is deployed on the display hardware in a decentralized fashion.…”

Public displays are becoming a common sight in the urban landscape and they are increasingly being equipped with interaction components such as touch screens. In addition, the Web and its set of enabling technologies are attractive for realizing applications for public displays. We argue that to develop multi-application public displays, then services generally need to be easy to develop, robust, and be easy to deploy and maintain. In this position paper we present a virtual machinebased Web application platform, for decentralized deployment of interactive services on heterogeneous public displays, which satisfies the aforementioned requirements. We also report on some usage experiences of utilizing the platform in a network of large public displays, which we have deployed in a mid-size city.

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.

In this paper, we suggest utilizing modern social networking services for building versatile applications for interactive public displays. We demonstrate the functionality and potential of this approach by presenting a set of services deployed on top of a network of public displays, utilized in a longitudinal study in an authentic city setting. We further propose utilizing users' personal online profiles for building personalized and appealing public social services, and suggest that this may enhance the attractiveness of interactive public displays. Results of this study indicate that using interactive public displays is inherently a social event, and that services supporting group use and sociality succeed in urban smart spaces.
