Tornedge

With the spread of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets, the transfer of electronic information such as images and videos has become commonplace. To exchange electronic information using e-mail or social network services a sender needs to know the recipient’s contact information. However, if the recipient is a newly-encountered person or an ad hoc partner, a significant number of them are reluctant to exchange contact details. To address this issue, we propose an interaction method for transferring electronic information by tearing a sheet of paper. This is an approach that utilizes the fact that when a piece of paper is torn into two pieces, the features of the torn edges of the two pieces match.
