What is Event Propagation

Interface Support for Creativity, Productivity, and Expression in Computer Graphics
In general, a content is divided and delivered to each display in order to form one screen by multiple displays. We employ a different approach for designing some applications; an event is transmitted to a directly attached device in order to make a consistent visual effect at each local application. The summation of all the application’s local response will present a consistent visual as one screen. This application design is more suitable for our dynamically reconfigurable multi-display.

Abstract
We designed an intuitive user interface to connect multiple mobile devices over a network and relate the applications running on them. We proposed a pinching gesture for making a connection between two devices, which is realized by swiping the touch screens of the two annexed mobile devices as if to stitch them together. We believe that this user interface can create new user experiences for multiple-screen usage, especially by designing the application content to react instantly to the connection and disconnection triggered by the gesture. We expect this interface to fulfill a great potential in inspiring application designers to conceive various ideas, particularly suited for visually fascinating content that takes advantage of the dynamic reconfigurable multi-display feature. To demonstrate the potential, we produced some prototype applications. In this article, we explain the idea and details of the interface mechanism, and introduce the design of the sample applications.
