In our final design, we implemented for two main views to organize posters on the PosterBoard, one view to add a poster and a detailed view to interact with the selected poster. We decided against the "Random view" because it did not aid in finding more relevant information.

  • Calendar View: Posters are displayed by week and users can either scroll to a week or select it off a calendar. 
    • Calendar View: 
  • Similar Events View: Posters are grouped by tags event organizers assign to them (e.g. talk, social etc). Posters with multiple tags are placed in multiple categories. Clicking on a tag allows users to browse events in that category. This functionality circumvents the need to need to have an explicit search button which would require typing and our studies show that typing on a vertical surface is very tedious.

  • Add poster view: We implemented a slide-in panel for adding posters where the user can select a poster file, event date and time, and tags. These selections require no typing, they are accomplished through calendar widgets and drop downs. Similarly for entering email, we prompt the user to swipe their id at the RFID reader and auto-populate the email field.
