Distributed User Interfaces

Part of the book series: Human-Computer Interaction Series ((HCIS))

Abstract

With pico projectors attached or integrated into a mobile phone they allow users to create and interact with a large screen and explore larges-scale information everywhere. But through the distribution of information between the small display of the phone and the large projection visual separation effects may occur. To empower projector phones to their full capabilities we developed a user interface design based on sophisticated techniques that reduces the amount of context switches needed to explore the virtual information space of the mobile device. Therefore we utilize a dynamic peephole metaphor. We present a prototype of a map application that implements the design and shows that it simplifies mobile map navigation.
