Smartphones provide large amounts of personal data, functionalities, and apps and make a substantial part of our daily communication. But during phone calls the phone cannot be used much beyond voice communication and does not offer support for synchronous collaboration. This is owed to the fact that first, despite the availability of alternatives, the phone is typically held at one’s ear; and second that the small mobile screen is less suited to be used with existing collaboration software. This video presents a novel in-call collaboration system that leverages projector phones as they provide a large display that can be used while holding the phone to the ear to project an interactive interface anytime and anywhere. The system uses a desktop metaphor user interface and provides a private and a shared space, live mirroring of the shared space and user defined access rights to shared content.

Missing nice music!
oh sure, lets use a projector rather than a headset because the table/wall is so much better than the screen of your phone.
nice idea but would be better to just put the call on speaker and use the phone’s screen instead of this projector sillyness
I would like to talk to you about possible collaborations.
Because of we are developing unique pico-projector which might make your solution usable. usami@qdlaser.com Michael
