A wireless application overlay for ubiquitous mobile multimedia sensing and interaction
Hanno Wirtz, Jan Rüth, Torsten Zimmermann, Matteo Ceriotti, Klaus Wehrle · 2014
Mobile users are continuously surrounded by heterogeneous (mobile) devices that provide a basis for direct multimedia interaction within the immediate physical context. However, current multimedia approaches are restricted to sense the availability of devices and their respective multimedia application content through Internet services that manage the locality of devices and content. Each service thereby manages only the narrow context of each device according to the respective application, preventing devices and approaches from sensing the diversity, spontaneity, and dynamics of mobile contexts and the physical interaction scope.
