A Natural User Interface to Facilitate Information Sharing Among Mobile Devices in a Co-located Environment
Timothy Lee Son, Janet Louise Wesson, Dieter Vogts · 2016
Existing information sharing methods used by mobile devices require the user to repeat a series of steps to share one or more selected files with another individual. Natural User Interfaces (NUIs) focus on the reuse of existing knowledge to provide a more intuitive solution to existing user interfaces. The aim of this paper is to discuss the design of a NUI application, called MotionShare, to provide a solution to support information sharing among co-located mobile devices. MotionShare does not rely on any additional technologies to assist in positioning of the devices, unlike other existing systems. An example is the use of an external camera to determine the position of devices in an environment.
