This project is designed to explore the domain of public interaction with large screens using personal devices such as cell phones or hand held devices. While there are an increasing number of public display systems in our environment, these typically are either interactive, but small and single user focused, e.g. information kiosks in airports, or passive, large broadcast displays such as the large advertising screens in Time Square, New York.Although both types are becoming more prevalent, it is the latter category, large, passive public displays that are becoming ubiquitous and can increasingly be found in public spaces. Although traditionally these displays are broadcast based, and thus non-interactive, there is a small but growing number of attempts to support personal interactivity with such public displays using hand held devices. This has ranged from the ability to send text messages via SMS to large public screens up to full interactive games which use cameras to track members of the public and incorporate them into the virtual game. In parallel with the developing ubiquity of large public displays, has been the saturation of personal devices, such as cell phones, PDAs and personal Audio/Video (AV) players. These devices offer a very personal experience for their users in terms of both control and media. However, regardless of their widespread use in public today, such personal devices are considered as non-traditional input devices in the domain of interactive large public display environments. This proliferation of public displays with minimal interaction and personal devices with small screens and limited AV offers a unique and growing environment for public-private dual screen interaction. This proposal is designed to address this space and to explore the design of interactive applications that use the combined strengths of the two to produce rich unified interactive experiences.

该项目旨在探索使用手机或手持设备等个人设备与大屏幕进行公共交互的领域。虽然我们的环境中公共显示系统的数量不断增加，但这些系统通常是交互式的，但规模较小且以单个用户为中心，例如机场的信息亭，或被动式大型广播显示器，例如纽约时代广场的大型广告屏幕。尽管这两种类型都变得越来越普遍，但后一类大型被动式公共显示器正变得无处不在，并且越来越多地出现在公共场所。尽管传统上这些显示器是基于广播的，因此是非交互式的，但是存在少量但越来越多的尝试来支持使用手持设备与此类公共显示器的个人交互性。这包括通过短信向大型公共屏幕发送短信的能力，以及使用摄像头跟踪公众成员并将其纳入虚拟游戏的完整互动游戏。随着大型公共显示器的普及，个人设备（例如手机、PDA 和个人音频/视频 (AV) 播放器）也逐渐饱和。这些设备在控制和媒体方面为用户提供了非常个性化的体验。然而，无论此类个人设备当今在公众中的广泛使用如何，它们在交互式大型公共显示环境领域中都被视为非传统输入设备。交互最少的公共显示器以及小屏幕和有限视听的个人设备的激增，为公私双屏交互提供了独特且不断发展的环境。该提案旨在解决这一问题，并探索交互式应用程序的设计，利用两者的综合优势来产生丰富的统一交互体验。
