Shoot & Copy: Using Mobile Phones for Accessing Information on Large Displays
In Extended Abstracts of the Ninth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp), Innsbruck, Austria, Sep. 2007 (bib)

We present Shoot & Copy, an information transfer technique that does not require visual codes that interfere with shown content on large displays. By using Shoot & Copy users can capture an arbitrary sub-region of a large screen that contains pieces of data. The captured image is then analyzed and a reference to the corresponding data or the data itself is sent back to the mobile phone. When the user wants to view the captured information in more detail, the Shoot & Copy prototype allows retrieving the data on a standard personal computer or viewing data directly on the mobile phone. With this technique, displayed content in our everyday life is easily memorable by users. In addition, supplementary information can be transferred to the mobile phone.
