Abstract

With users increasingly using their mobile devices such as smartphones as digital photo albums, effective methods for managing these collections are becoming increasingly important. Standard solutions provide only limited facilities for organising, browsing and searching image collections on mobile devices, making it challenging and time-consuming to locate images of interest. In this demo paper, we present an intuitive interface for organising and browsing image collections on mobile devices. Images are arranged on a 3D globe according to colour similarity. To avoid image overlap image thumbnails are placed on a regular grid structure while large image collections are organised using a hierarchical data structure. Through multi-touch user interaction image browsing can be performed in an intuitive and effective manner.
