Mobile devices are increasingly being fitted with more than one display, presenting a new
breed of Mobile Multi-Display Environments (MMDEs). It is however still unclear how the extra display fits within the
mobile devices' ecology in terms of visualisation and interaction. My research explores the alignment between multiple
displays in a mobile environment and how different alignments affect usability and the choice of a suitable interaction
technique. In order to investigate those properties and adapt them to various use cases, I will build a steerable projection
system to study different alignments, then analyse visual separation effects in MMDEs and finally explore the possibilities
offered when the displays are overlapping.
