Coordinating User Selections in Collaborative Smart-Phone Large-Display Multi-device Environments

This paper evaluates alternative view coordination methods for linked smart-phone large-display multi-device environments and proposes an approach whereby selections made using different displays can be coordinated in order to facilitate different degrees of autonomous and collaborative working. This involves different types of selection made by users on individual private mobile devices being combined on the main public display with individual users having the option to press a button and retrieve another user’s selection from the main display. Our proposed method is developed and evaluated using the HotelFinder application which runs on several smart-phone devices connected to a large-display and allows users to find a hotel using coordinated map and scatter-plot views showing hotel location, price and review statistics.
