UniDisplay - A Research Prototype to Investigate Expectations Towards Public Display Applications In PD-App '14: Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Developing Applications for Pervasive Display Networks (in conjunction with PerCom '14). Budapest, Hungary, March 28, 2014. IEEE. (bib) |
As public display networks become open, novel types of interaction applications emerge. In particular, we expect applications that support user-generated content to rapidly gain importance, since they provide a tangible benefit for the user in the form of digital bulletin boards, discussion platform that foster public engagement, and applications that allow for self expression. At the same time, such applications infer several challenges: first, they need to provide suitable means for the passerby to contribute content to the application; second, mechanisms need to be employed that provide sufficient control for the display owner with regard to content moderation; and third, the usersâ expectations with regard to the posting procedure needs to be well understood. In this paper we present UniDisplay, a research prototype that enables users to post text and images to a public display. We report on the design and development of the application and provide early insights of the deployment in a University setting. |
