Summary: | This thesis project describes a system to make presentations more collaborative, consisting on a mobile application using mesh technology.The mesh network may be set up through the choreography of interaction created by attendees tapping their phones together at the start of the meeting. The fluid workflow for requesting and handing over control of the projector encourages sharing and makes the interaction between presenter and audience more collaborative.The design was evaluated through a collaborative session that pointed at several future lines of work. Furthermore, we found opportunities to leverage the use of mesh networks in the workplace.Finally, we carried out two explorations of the use of projectors and movement capture for the creation of visual content. This, along with the previous work, served as a base for the argument that there is an opportunity to discover rich interaction possibilities in the combination of small, modular IoT devices to create augmented spaces.
