At the MobiSocial Lab, an engineering research team asks fundamental questions about the marriage of mobile communications and social networking, and begins to design the future of open-source social networking. In a YouTube video, two Stanford graduate students stand together in front of a television. One draws with his finger on his smartphone, then holds it next to the second student’s phone. The drawing zips from one phone to the next. The first student then touches his phone to a television remote control and the image soon appears on a nearby TV. Then the second student begins to draw. His flourishes are duplicated pixel-for-pixel in real time on both the TV and the first phone. This is the world of MobiSocial – a glimpse into the future of mobile-social computing.
