Dynamic graphical user interface generation for web-based public display applications
1 like1,270 views
The document discusses the development of dynamic graphical user interfaces for web-based public display applications, emphasizing the need for open public display networks that allow diverse applications and interaction methods. It introduces 'purewidgets,' a model providing high-level abstractions for developers to create applications with minimal effort while ensuring various interaction capabilities, such as SMS and touch. The conclusion stresses the necessity for better tools to enhance application creation for these networks.

- 2. Open public display networks ● Open display networks ○ "designed and implemented to be open to applications and content from many sources and thus provide the foundation for work on a new global communications medium for information access and interaction”
- 3. Interaction toolkit for public displays ● Different displays may provide different interaction capabilities ● Developers need ○ Abstraction from interaction mechanisms ○ Various high-level controls
- 4. PuReWidgets ● High-level abstractions ○ Widgets ● Independence from interaction mechanism ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ SMS Email Touch Mobile interface QR code
- 5. Widgets
- 6. Interaction Touch Text-based (SMS, email, …) QR codes Mobile interface (Automatically generated)
- 7. Automatic GUI for mobile devices ● Discoverability ○ Of apps ○ Of apps’ features ● Interaction ● No extra effort for programmers of public display apps
- 8.

- 18. Preliminary evaluation ● Real-world deployment
- 19. Discussion ● Asynchronous interaction ● Rapidly changing widgets
- 20. Conclusion ● We need better tools to create applications for open display networks ○ Interaction abstractions ● PuReWidgets is just one attempt/model
