ABSTRACT
Spellbinder is a new interactive digital medium based on camera phones and image matching. Using Spellbinder, digital content can be embedded in the real world by taking a photograph of an object or place. The digital content can be released by another user by taking another photograph of the same location. Spellbinder does not require special markers or barcodes to be placed in the world. Unlike tracking technologies such as global positioning systems, the focus is on what specifically is being looked at rather than where the user is. The Branded Tribes research project is exploring uses of this technology for social interaction in city spaces using an approach of research by design. Graphics of real world brandscapes are used as placeholders for virtual computer graphics. We report innovative outcomes from the first phase of this research.

Eyepatch: prototyping camera-based interaction through examples
UIST '07: Proceedings of the 20th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyCameras are a useful source of input for many interactive applications, but computer vision programming is difficult and requires specialized knowledge that is out of reach for many HCI practitioners. In an effort to learn what makes a useful computer ...
Interacting with live preview frames: in-picture cues for a digital camera interface
UIST '10: Adjunct proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe present a new interaction paradigm for digital cameras aimed at making interactive imaging algorithms accessible on these devices. In our system, the user creates visual cues in front of the lens during the live preview frames that are continuously ...
