ABSTRACT
Nowadays we are surrounded by many different computing devices, but applications running on them are still largely independent. It should be possible to address this shortcoming to provide a better user experience. There is a lack of tools to realize this vision, so we aim to develop a framework that allows third-party developers to build applications that run across multiple co-located devices. Three key related work areas have been identified: proxemics, indoor positioning and multi-device applications. The work is under way to define the framework's architecture and the design of core components, as well as to develop a supporting indoor positioning solution. We will also be developing prototypes in order to perform usability tests to assess if this approach is beneficial to potential users.
