Abstract

The camera-based control of large markerless displays through smartphones in real-time is an appealing novel interaction technique in urban environments and opens a wide range of new use cases. While recent research has focused on investigating respective user aspects using simplified lab prototypes, this paper addresses the question how such services can be technically enabled for a large network of screens. We present our efforts towards a suitable distributed framework for enabling such smartphone-based screen services at a large scale and introduce a prototypical implementation. To illustrate its features we present two concrete interactive services we realized on top of the framework.
