Abstract: The advent of ubiquitous computing and the dissemination of large displays and therefore mobile computing devices have created new opportunities for the joint use of these devices. Together these devices can enrich public spaces, promoting new and more engagement interaction mechanisms, giving users relevant information and providing important resources that can promote conversations and group activities. These scenarios will influence new interactive spaces, populated with several heterogeneous devices, which proactively provide services to its users: task oriented assistance, entertainment, information, amongst others, helping them in their activities and providing them relevant information. In this paper we explore the joint use of public displays and personal mobile computing devices, as equipments for the dissemination of personalized information that is delivered to users, according to their interests and expectations. The system takes into consideration the !
personal/public nature of the information and delivers the information through the most convenient device and combines in the same system two different perspectives: informative, providing users with information about their subscriptions and socializing, i.e. presenting, in a public display, information about the place, about users' interests and about interests of other people that visits the same place. We have developed and evaluated a partial prototype based on those principles. The results suggest that the combination of public displays and personal mobile devices represent an interesting combination to provide relevant and personalized information and to promote socialization in public spaces.
