Now <em>See Through Phone<\/em>, a smartphone app solves that problem, by \u2018projecting\u2019 the phone&#8217;s display to any screen. <\/p>\n<p>The app, developed by Sebastian Boring of the Department of Computer Science, DIKU, University of Copenhagen and Dominikus Baur, University of Calgary, was runner-up Tuesday in CeBIT\u2019s Innovation Award in Hannover, Germany. The award is given out to the most innovative consumer electronics product every year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can easily bring photos from an iPhone to any display in the world. The metaphor we like to use is one of a projector. Move the phone closer to the screen, and the picture gets bigger. Move back, and it gets smaller. Tilting it to the side, also tilts the \u2018projected\u2019 picture. To accomplish this, the phone does complex spacial arithmetic, based on data it gathers from its rear-facing camera, along with its accelerometer\u201d, professor Boring says to the University Post from Hannover. <\/p>\n<h2>See through your phone<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThe possibilities are nearly limitless. You can \u2018project\u2019 a youtube video on your television. You can show the pictures from your last trip, with a map sitting alongside the pictures, so you can tell where each picture was taken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The app can also be used for collaborative work. A group of colleagues can all look at the same screen, as one creates outlines for a design on their phone, or scrolls through graphs and charts. The technology is similar to Apple\u2019s Airplay protocol, which allows iPhones and iPads to stream photos and videos to televisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAirplay simply mirrors the phone\u2019s screen on a TV. What we do goes beyond simple mirroring. For example, you can have multiple images on your television, and arrange them. \u2018See Through Mode\u2019 is also completely innovative. You can see it in action on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seethroughphone.de\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>\u201d, Boring tells University Post.<\/p>\n<h2>iPhone app out; other platforms in the works<\/h2>\n<p>In \u2018See Through Mode\u2019 the phone will display the TV behind it, using its rear camera, while giving the user the ability to interact with whatever is shown on the TV by manipulating the elements shown on the phone\u2019s screen. Boring and Baur have created a <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/61057214\" target=\"_blank\">video of this feature in action<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The app is currently only available on the iPhone, but ports to other platforms are in the works, Boring informs us. The server software, while still in closed beta, will soon be freely available, and can be installed on any computing hardware. Anyone who already has a gaming console connected to their television set wouldn\u2019t need to purchase any additional hardware.<\/p>\n<p>You can find the app on the Apple Appstore, and find more about it on its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seethroughphone.de\" target=\"_blank\">homepage<\/a> (In German.
