Title: Using Mobile Phones with Large Displays for Enhanced User Experience
Abstracts: Although originally designed just for tele-communication, mobile phones are increasingly being used for GPS navigation, internet access, games, and management of personal information. While their portability makes them highly convenient for pervasive access to information, the lack of peripheral input devices and small screen real estate often impose restrictions on the amount of information to be displayed and manipulated on mobile devices. In this talk, we look into the ways the pairing of mobile devices with large displays can help complement their inherent limitations and create an enhanced user experience.
