Beyond the Phone: Exploring Phone-XR Integration through Multi-View Transitions for Real-World Applications

Explore a 12-minute IEEE conference talk that presents a framework for seamless integration between mobile phones and XR headsets. Learn about innovative multi-view transitions that enable mirrored, magnified, and augmented views of mobile interfaces in XR environments. The presenters from University of Toronto and Google discuss how their system dynamically adapts interfaces to application content, creating a generalizable solution for phone-XR integration. Discover the research methodology involving literature reviews and expert workshops that established the design space for this technology. The talk covers the development of a prototype evaluated in real-world applications and presents user study results that demonstrate the potential for creating a cohesive cross-device ecosystem. Part of the "3D user interfaces" session at IEEE VR 2025.
