A large body of related work addresses the challenge of integrating mobile devices into existing device infrastructures in order to facilitate the interaction. For instance, Rekimoto and Saitoh investigated hyper dragging for seamless interaction across multiple devices [5]. Hinckley et al. present stitching, which allows users to connect multiple tablet PCs to create a larger logical screen and to transfer data between the devices [2]. Lucero et al. investigated how multiple mobile phones can be integrated in order to create a shared screen [3]. In contrast to the MobIES, their approach is
based on each participating user providing an additional mobile screen. Lyons et al. investigated how application user interfaces can be distributed across multiple screens [4]. In the following, we discuss the concept of MobIES, detail the prototype implementation, and conclude the paper.
