Abstract

By equipping a mobile device with distance sensing capabilities, we aim to expand the interaction possibilities of mobile and wearable devices beyond the confines of the physical device itself to include the space immediately around it. Our prototype, an Apple iPhone equipped with six IR distance sensors, allows for rich 3D input, comprising coarse movement-based hand gestures, as well as static position-based gestures. A demonstration application, HoverFlow, illustrates the use of coarse hand gestures for interaction with mobile applications. This type of interaction, which we call Around-Device Interaction (ADI) has the potential to help to solve occlusion problems on small-screen mobile devices and scales well to small device sizes.
