Toss-it: intuitive information transfer techniques for mobile devices

Published: 02 April 2005 Publication History

Abstract

In recent years, mobile devices have rapidly penetrated into our daily lives. However, several drawbacks of mobile devices have been mentioned so far. The proposed system called Toss-It provides intuitive information transfer techniques for mobile devices, by fully utilizing their mobility. A user of Toss-It can send information from the user's PDA to other electronic devices with a toss or swing action, as the user would toss a ball or deal cards to others. This paper describes the current implementation of Toss-It and its user studies.
