| Abstract | Existing information sharing methods used by mobile devices require the user to repeat a series of steps to share one or more selected files with another individual. Natural User Interfaces (NUIs) focus on the reuse of existing knowledge to provide a more intuitive solution to existing user interfaces. The aim of this paper is to discuss the design of a NUI application, called MotionShare, to provide a solution to support information sharing among co-located mobile devices. MotionShare does not rely on any additional technologies to assist in positioning of the devices, unlike other existing systems. An example is the use of an external camera to determine the position of devices in an environment. MotionShare requires an initial calibration setup to calculate the approximate position and orientation of all the mobile devices in the environment. The approximate position was determined using Bluetooth, which was identified by conducting several experiments. The embedded sensors on mobile devices were used to determine the orientation of these devices. Focus groups were conducted to identify the most appropriate NUI gestures to utilise the position and orientation information. The results of these focus groups and systems selected from literature were compared. Based on this comparison, the most relevant NUI interaction techniques were then implemented to support information sharing among these devices. An analytical evaluation investigated the accuracy of device positioning and gesture recognition, where the results were positive. The empirical evaluation investigated any usability issues. The results of the empirical evaluation showed high levels of user satisfaction and that participants preferred touch gestures to point gestures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
