Abstract

This paper analyzes the problem of remote text entry using a gyroscope. Its rotary movements are mapped to the screen coordinate system and employed for a virtual laser pointer behaviour. We analyze different placement for the unit and choose held in a hand smartphone with a buil-in gyroscope for further investigations. In the study, the analysis of different modes of text entry is examined, including simple point and click procedure on different layouts, and trajectory-based stroke or gesture typing.
