Abstract

The Augmented Video Wall is a compelling showcase application demonstrating a novel collocated interaction technique for public displays beyond traditional competitive or collaborative multi-user scenarios. By utilizing means of augmented reality on personal mobile devices and applying animated video overlays accurately superimposed upon the public display, we create the illusion of literally private views to a shared public display. Besides this concurrent viewing mode, the demonstrator features a competitive mode and a concurrent mode enhanced with social features to highlight the characteristics of this novel display interaction techniques. During a first preliminary study, the Augmented Video Wall attracted lots of visitors and created highly entertaining experiences for groups.
