Mobile interaction, public displays, visual recognition, magic lens
In this paper, we investigate display pointing as a recent mobile pairing technique for public screens enabling the simple targeting of the remote display with the mobile device. We evaluate a functional prototype in a user study emphasizing the crucial first connection phase independent from any consequent interaction style. In the presented initial study, we deliberately focus on the qualitative issues of this technique and identified a list of practical and fun aspects. According to the results, the display pointing approach is perceived as a (partly too) fast, robust and fascinating pairing technique which has the potential to gamify the connection process.
