The description;
Public screens are becoming increasingly common these days - not only in airports and shopping malls but even in pubs and other less formal places. Frequently, these screens are mainly used to broadcast information but for a nomadic user it would nice to be able to use them for other purposes (such as showing off photographs to collocated friends). My project aims at investigating different alternatives in terms of how to interact with public screens. Possible means for interaction include, for example, touch-screens, mobile devices, or gestures. The goal of this project is to survey what means of interaction are available, to analyse them according to drawbacks and benefits, and to devise some initial guidelines for interface design.
