SAMMI: Spatially Aware Multi-Mobile Interface for Map Navigation

 

 

As users advance toward an ecosystem of multiple mobile devices (a survey of 2,226 users, indicates that people carry on average 2.9 devices), we investigate whether using more devices and their screens in a spatially interlinked manner can lead to interfaces that generate new advantages.

To this end, we propose SAMMI (Spatially-Aware MultiMobile Interface), an interface that supports users’ analytic map navigation tasks with two spatially-aware mobile devices: a smartphone and a smartwatch.
