Mobile visual interaction
Panu Vartiainen, Suresh Chande, Kimmo Rämö · 2006
User interaction with applications and data is traditionally based on Menu driven, mouse or pen based user interfaces. As increasing number of mobile devices are equipped with cameras, mobile devices can be a key tool for local and remote visual interaction and communications. In this paper we discuss our Mobile Visual Interaction system that enables pointing with mobile camera devices on larger displays, and key findings in using mobile cameras for human computer interaction. The mobile pointing software can identify and interpret camera-detectable data elements inserted on data surfaces such as computer displays or projected screens. The user can interact with this system by pointing the mobile camera device to the surface and performing gestures. In this article we share the key challenges and key results found during developing the system.
