Extending Mobile Interfaces with External Screens
Channel: MHCIGroup
Date: 2013-05-07

We present an approach which allows users to establish an ad-hoc connection between their mobile devices and external displays by holding the phone on the border of an external screen in order to temporarily extend the mobile user interface across the mobile and the external screen. This allows users to take advantage of existing large displays in their environments through spanning the mobile application user interface across multiple displays which allows to display more information at once.
