Explorations in sound for tilting-based interfaces
Matthias Rath, Michael Rohs · 2006
Everyday experience as well as recent studies tell that information contained in ecological sonic feedback may improve human control of, and interaction with, a system. This notion is particularly worthwhile to consider in the context of mobile, tilting-based interfaces as have been proposed, developed and studied extensively. Two interfaces are used for this scope, the Ballancer, based on the metaphor of balancing a rolling ball on a track, and a more concretely application-oriented setup of a mobile phone with tilting-based input. First pilot studies have been conducted.
