Stickie

Stickie is a mobile collaborative system. The project uses physical space as a medium for people to digitally annotate their environment. Stickie incorporates the smartphone as an extension of the human body to spatially interact with visual content.

It folds the user experience of digital smartphones and monitor screens into one analog note making process, which allows people to physically post multimedia content from phones onto multiple surfaces.

The web application lets people run sticky-note sessions remotely, using two devices every workplace already has: smartphones and TV screens.

A personal smartphone acts as the interface between tangible and digital space. Users leave notes on a TV screen by placing the phone itself against any ordinary non-touch display. Because it runs on commodity hardware, it works in most workspace setups without special equipment, and the code is open source.
