An Explorative Comparison of Magic Lens and Personal Projection for Interacting with Smart Objects
"... One shortcoming of self-describing smart objects augmented with digital resources is the limitation of output modalities due to their long established physical appearances. To overcome this drawback intangible representations e.g., sound, video projection etc. are usually coupled with the tangible r ..."

representations of smart objects that enable access and interaction with their value added features. In this paper, we explore two mobile interaction techniques that associate such intangible representation to smart objects using a pico projector augmented camera phone. The first technique utilizes a Magic Lens
SIMULATION, DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF MOBILE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS FOR MIGRATORY BIRD TRACKING
, 2012
"... This thesis presents CraneTracker, a multi-modal sensing and communication system for monitoring migratory species at the continental level. By exploiting the robust and extensive cellular infrastructure across the continent, traditional mobile wireless sensor networks can be extended to enable reli ..."

A Robust Abstraction for First-Person Video Streaming: Techniques, Applications, and Experiments
"... The emergence of personal mobile computing and ubiquitous wireless networks enables powerful field applications of video streaming, such as vision-enabled command centers for hazardous materials response. However, experience has repeatedly demonstrated both the fragility of the wireless networks and ..."

– the nauseainducing jumpiness typical of first-person video. We explore the features and benefits of the technique through both a field study involving hazardous waste disposal and a lab study of side-by-side comparisons with alternate methods. The technique was praised as a possible command center tool, and some
Google Android: An Emerging Software Platform For Mobile Devices
"... Mobile phone usage has been increasing dramatically over the last several years. Globally, if a usage comparison can be carried out between PCs and mobile devices. Mobile devices have approximately 3.5 times more usage than PCs. But cell phone in today’s society is not only a tool for making call an ..."

Based on the overall use behavior, two kinds of users were identified: concrete planners and destination explorers. A comparison of the web-based application with the mobile version suggests
The Personal Cockpit: A Spatial Interface for Effective Task Switching on Head-Worn Displays
- In Proc. CHI '14, ACM (2014
"... As wearable computing goes mainstream, we must improve the state of interface design to keep users productive with natural-feeling interactions. We present the Personal Cockpit, a solution for mobile multitasking on head-worn displays. We appropriate empty space around the user to situate virtual wi ..."
