PhoneTouch: a technique for direct phone interaction on surfaces
Dominik Schmidt, Fadi Chehimi, Enrico Rukzio, and Hans Gellersen
UIST Conference 2010
Summary:
This paper described a way for a phone to interact with a multi-sensor interactive surfaces. The idea is that a mobile phone could be used similar to a stylus on an interactive surface. However, the paper mentions other ways that this could be used. As an example, the paper describes someone pulling up their pictures on their phone, then touching the phone to the interactive surface, and the pictures are then displayed on that surface. Then, they describe a proof-of-concept implementation which details how they created some prototypes.
Discussion:
I thought that this was an interesting paper. Unfortunately, I don't think that this new design will become popular for a little while. I think that first, multi-sensor interactive surfaces will need to become more widespread before this can really take-off.
I agree with you discussion. Multi-sensor interactive surfaces need to become more popular before this is put in place but more importantly, I feel multi-sensor interactive surfaces will become popular using fingers, not phones as a stylus. So when these interactive tabletop surfaces to become greatly used, people will want to use their fingers, not their phones.
