Natural throw and tilt interaction between mobile phones and distant displays

Published: 04 April 2009 Publication History

Abstract

To provide intuitive ways of interacting with media data, this research work addresses the seamless combination of sensor-enabled phones with large displays. An intuitive basic set of tilt gestures is introduced for a stepwise or continuous interaction with both mobile applications and distant user interfaces by utilizing the handheld as a remote control. In addition, we introduce throwing gestures to transfer media documents and even running interfaces to a large display. To improve usability, data and interfaces can be thrown from a mobile phone to a distant screen and also fetched back to achieve mobility. We demonstrate the feasibility of the interaction methods with several advanced application prototypes facilitating a natural flow of interaction.
