CFP: Theme Issue on Personal Projection

in Personal and Ubiquitous Computing journal

Mobile projection interfaces are no longer a fiction. Integrated pico projectors in mobile and wearable devices could make mobile projection ubiquitous within the next few years. Walls, desks, or t-shirts will act as projection surfaces for these kinds of new devices. Several projector phones, mobile phones with built-in projectors, are already commercially available, have been demonstrated or are announced. It is expected that such projector phones will be integrated in many of the next generation mobile handsets. Furthermore, we have seen the first research towards the integration of pico projectors and cameras into various wearable systems, such as pendants or headsets, leading to new form factors, interaction techniques and applications. These mobile projection and camera units have a great potential to overcome some limitations of mobile and wearable devices, especially their limited input- and output capabilities. They offer a large projection area or are able to project virtual interfaces where multiple people can spontaneously interact with it. The aim of this special issue is therefore to report on current research on mobile projection interfaces and applications in the area of pervasive computing.
