In a wireless world, users can establish ad hoc virtual connections between devices that are
unhampered by cables. This process is known as spontaneous device association. A wide …

A challenge in facilitating spontaneous mobile interactions is to provide pairing methods that
are both intuitive and secure. Simultaneous shaking is proposed as a novel and easy-to-use …

Stitching is a new interaction technique that allows users to combine pen-operated mobile
devices with wireless networking by using pen gestures that span multiple displays. To …

In this paper we explore shared collocated interactions with mobile phones. We introduce a
phone-based application that allows a small group of collocated people to share photos …
