A web-based toolkit for remote direct manipulation interaction with public displays via smartphones

Abstract

Public displays are becoming increasingly interactive but we still need better programming tools that take the burden of adding interaction features to display applications. In this paper, we present a toolkit for web-based, remote, direct manipulation interaction with public display applications. Our toolkit provides high-level controls such as joystick, text input, and multi-touch cursor events, allowing programmers to focus on the interaction experience of the application.
