In collocated collaborative creativity work, such as mind mapping or other brainstorming sessions, a group of persons has to solve different tasks as well as discuss and decide on one of the various proposed solutions at the same place. Since mobile devices are increasingly used in collaborative work, these tasks also can be performed digitally. This work addresses the process of voting for one solution out of several proposals. We provide intuitive multi-device interactions for a seamless ranking and voting using multiple mobile devices. They each represent one solution to a given task. Our proposed voting interactions include turning devices and rearranging their order according to their ratings. We demonstrate the feasibility of our interactions by implementing an application prototype. They facilitate the involvement of mobile devices in collaborative work as well as the support of users during voting and ranking processes.
