Abstract

We present a touch and proximity based method for binding a group of mobile devices into an ecosystem for collaborative interactions. We aim to provide a seamless user experience by integrating the binding method with the application start-up flow. Our method also determines the order of the devices, allowing implementation of spatial interactions.

A comparative evaluation of touch-based methods to bind mobile devices for collaborative interactions
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We present a comparative evaluation of two touch-based group-binding methods, a leader-driven method and a peer-based method, against a more conventional group-binding method based on scanning and passwords. The results indicate that the participants ...
FlexiGroups: binding mobile devices for collaborative interactions in medium-sized groups with device touch
MobileHCI '14: Proceedings of the 16th international conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices & services

We present a touch-based method for binding mobile devices for collaborative interactions in a group of collocated users. The method is highly flexible, enabling a broad range of different group formation strategies. We report an evaluation of the ...
Natural group binding and cross-display object movement methods for wearable devices
MobileHCI '16: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services

As wearable devices become more popular, situations where there are multiple persons present with such devices will become commonplace. In these situations, wearable devices could support collaborative tasks and experiences between co-located persons ...
