Google Research has unveiled a project for
transferring mobile content to a remote display.
This Open Project makes your smartphone
camera work as a projector to display content.
A blog post from Google Research states that
although mobile devices have an accelerated
growth but their form factors remain slow. The
Open Projects works to address this issue and
leverage nearby IO resources to operate their
mobile devices. Open Project works an end-to end
framework that allows users to project a mobile
app into a display like a PC, or Home Internet TV
or a laptop monitor or even a wall sized display.
The user can easily project or share the
application from their smartphone via an
intuitive, projection-based metaphor onto a target
display.
Yang Li, Research Scientist, Google Research
stated on Google Research blog :
"Open Project is an open, scalable, web-based
framework for enabling mobile sharing and
collaboration. It can turn any computer display
projectable instantaneously and without
deployment. Developers can add support for Open
Project in native mobile apps by simply linking a
library, requiring no additional hardware or
sensors. Our user participants responded highly
positively to Open Project-enabled applications
for mobile sharing and collaboration."
Google Research was earlier working on Deep
Short, a project that lets you capture apps from a
computer screen to your mobile via your
smartphone camera. This is the exact opposite of
the Open Project. The project demonstrated how
a user can easily move web pages and
applications, like Google Maps directions, from a
laptop and an Android phone by using the
smartphone's camera. The user need to simply
click a picture of their monitor with a phone
camera, and the captured content becomes
instantly interactive on their mobile phone.
