ABSTRACT
Smartphones and handheld devices are increasingly being used in interactive applications beyond their conventional touchscreens. For example, tangibles allow users to interact with mobile devices using physical objects both on screen and around the device. Similarly, there is a growing class of auxiliary devices that require a smartphone to be docked, transforming an otherwise simple object into something with rich interactivity. However, these auxiliary devices still require numerous components, including mechanical mechanisms, PCBs, and sometimes batteries. This increases manufacturing costs, and reduces physical robustness.

Acoustruments: Passive, Acoustically-Driven, Interactive Controls for Handheld Devices
CHI '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe introduce Acoustruments: low-cost, passive, and power-less mechanisms, made from plastic, that can bring rich, tangible functionality to handheld devices. Through a structured exploration, we identified an expansive vocabulary of design primitives, ...
Bezel swipe: conflict-free scrolling and multiple selection on mobile touch screen devices
CHI '09: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsZooming user interfaces are increasingly popular on mobile devices with touch screens. Swiping and pinching finger gestures anywhere on the screen manipulate the displayed portion of a page, and taps open objects within the page. This makes navigation ...
Touch & Interact: touch-based interaction with a tourist application
MobileHCI '08: Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Human computer interaction with mobile devices and servicesTouch & Interact is an interaction technique which combines mobile phones and public displays. The motivation for the project is to overcome the intrinsic output limitations of mobile phones. Touch & Interact extends the phone output to a public display ...
