ABSTRACT
In this paper we describe the demonstration of a gesture input supported by tactile feedback. The application example we created is a bouncing ball game, where tapping the device in horizontal or vertical directions controls ball motion. Motivation behind the demo is to explore possibilities for haptic interaction that are suitable for mobile devices. Contrary to continuous gesture recognition applications, approach chosen here is an event based, minimalist gesture input supported by simple tactile feedback events.

Tactile interfaces for small touch screens
UIST '03: Proceedings of the 16th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe present the design, implementation, and informal evaluation of tactile interfaces for small touch screens used in mobile devices. We embedded a tactile apparatus in a Sony PDA touch screen and enhanced its basic GUI elements with tactile feedback. ...
Audio-haptic feedback in mobile phones
CHI EA '05: CHI '05 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsA new breed of mobile phones has been designed to enable concurrent vibration and audio stimulation, or audio-haptics. This paper aims to share techniques for creating and optimizing audio-haptic effects to enhance the user interface.The authors present ...
Ambient touch: designing tactile interfaces for handheld devices
UIST '02: Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyThis paper investigates the sense of touch as a channel for communicating with miniature handheld devices. We embedded a PDA with a TouchEngineTM --- a thin, miniature lower-power tactile actuator that we have designed specifically to use in mobile ...
