Funding: Google Faculty Grant · July 2016 – June 2017
The focus of this project is to understand personalization and privacy needs of actual public display users. The project will deploy a rich set of personalizable applications on an existing public display network deployed across a university campus, and distribute mobile phone applications (apps) to participants that let them personalize displays with various information feeds (e.g., bus schedules, Google+ feeds) automatically, i.e., as soon as the phone comes close to a display without manual intervention.
