Abstract: Devices and methods for co-located social interaction include one or more screens arranged to provide a substantially continuous, outward-facing display; a proximity sensor configured to detect the presence of users near the screen; a recognition sensor configured to gather identifying information about a detected user and to determine an identity of the detected user by matching the identifying information in a user database; an input sensor configured to receive user input; and a control module configured to control information displayed on the one or more screens based on a user's identity, the presence of other users nearby, and input provided by the user.
