We believe a lot can be gained by making mobile devices capable of some
basic sensing of the environment and the way they are currently being
held or operated. Previous explorations of how augmenting PDAs with
sensors for spatial orientation, touch, and proximity have provided
the basis for new paradigms for use, such as automating elements of
interaction that are naturally in the background (such as turning on a
PDA or changing the screen orientation simply by turning the PDA) and
providing new foreground gestures for tasks such as scrolling and
recording voice memos. We are currently extending some of these
explorations and investigating how these sensing capabilities may be used
in application settings.
