Abstract

One of the keystones of vision of AmI is the ability of multiple devices to seamlessly communicate within themselves. To this end, this article presents a mobile computer application which is able to smoothly connect via WiFi to large-screen TVs and mobile computer devices. Thus the application allows implementing shared displays with minimal effort and cost. These shared displays have shown to be useful to support meetings and informal encounters in various scenarios, such as at home, hospitals or business settings. The application was tested in real scenarios with encouraging results.
