Abstract
In this paper, we design an augmented reality based social networking system, called SocialYou, for mobile users using smartphones. The SocialYou system only needs a single-finger action that drags the icon of social networking websites to the target face on the screen of a smartphone. The target user webpage in a specific social networking website can be immediately displayed in the social media App or built-in web browser. Through SocialYou, mobile users do not need to know the target identifier in advance. In addition, mobile users do not need to input identifier information by themselves. Furthermore, mobile users can select a specific target among multiple candidates from the camera of a smartphone. SocialYou reveals an innovative user interface for social networking between mobile users. We have implemented an Android-based SocialYou system that outperforms existing methods in experimental results.
