“…They found that both techniques increased collaboration when compared to a baseline with no sharing (two separate independent devices) while the second method proved to further increase interaction between participants. James and Ünlüer [22] also explored collaborative photography but in a manner closer to what our work proposes: bringing strangers together to create an image. One stranger is the subject-or the person who ask for help-and the other one is the photographer-or the person who is willing to help.…”

When traveling, a very common issue is to ask for the help of a stranger to take a photo on a touristic spot. Indeed, often the results of this short collaboration are not as previously imagined. In this paper, we introduce the concept of instant rephotography, a technique based on a simple and intuitive user interface, and in an efficient and low cost algorithm that finds the matching between two images. The user interface guides the photographer to position the camera in the right place that was once imagined by the camera owner, automatically taking the new photo. To correctly choose the new photo, we propose an algorithm based on ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) feature points acquired from the reference and current photos, and on inertial sensors embedded in the photo device, a smartphone. To validate the concepts introduced, we implemented an Android App called Smart-Tourist Camera, conceived to help tourists to take good pictures during travels. Three different user studies involving 124 volunteers were conducted and results have shown that the photographs taken with the application are perceived as better than otherwise, and that users would use the App during their travels.

“…A few earlier studies look closer to photo taking. For example, Yousies is a mobile application that offers an opportunity for its user, e.g., a solo traveler, to get his/her photo taken by a stranger, another user, without a need to pass the device around [39]. Our focus is not only about a person taking a photo for another -like in Yousies -but, in fact, to perform the photo taking together.…”

Mobile phones have become common tools for photography. Despite the fact that photos are social artifacts, mobile phones afford the act of photo taking only as an individual activity. Photo taking that involves more than one photographer has been envisioned to create positive outcomes and experiences. We implemented this vision with mobile camera phones, exploring how this would influence photo taking practices and experiences. We conducted a user study where altogether 22 participants (11 pairs) were using a novel mobile photography method based on asymmetrical interaction abilities, comparing that with two traditional methods. We present the collaborative practices emerged in different photography methods and report user experience findings particularly with regard to enforced collaboration in mobile photo taking. The results highlight benefits and positive experiences in collaborative photo taking. We discuss lessons learned and point out design implications that come into play when designing for mobile collocated collaboration.
