Abstract
The development of new technologies for touch sensitive surfaces led to a revival of touch interfaces in innovative scenarios and a wide field of application. They can now be found in a range of hardware products on the market from small handhelds and tablets, to terminals, interactive tables and walls. In combination with information and communication technologies like GPS, wireless LAN, cameras, motion and light sensors – as most of the smart phones are already equipped with – the way is set for modern social software to conquer these devices. The paper illustrates a context centric approach to utilize these new technologies to access social media services in public location-based contexts on “Social Terminals”.
