Abstract

One of the most promising possibilities for supporting user interaction with public displays is the use of personal mobile phones, Furhermore, by utilising Bluetooth users should have the capability to interact with displays without incurring personal financial connectivity costs. However, despite the relative maturity of Bluetooth as a standard and its widerspread adoption in today's mobile phones, little explorations seems to have taken place in this aea - despite its apparent significant potential. This paper describe the findings of an exploratory study involving our Hermes Photo Display which has been extended to enables users with a suitable phone to both send and receive pictures over Bluetooth. We present both the technical challenges of working with Bluetooth and, through our user study, we present intial insights into general user acceptability issues and the potential for such a display to facilitate notions of community
