Pipet: a design concept supporting photo sharing

ABSTRACT

To support reminiscing in the home, people collect an increasing amount of digital media on numerous devices. When sharing their media with other people, distribution of the media over different devices can be problematic. In this paper, we address this problem by designing an innovative interaction concept for cross-device interaction to support groups in sharing photos using multiple devices. We designed and implemented the Pipet concept. Results of a comparative study show that Pipet resulted in a pragmatic and hedonic user experience.
