ActionCube: a tangible mobile gesture interaction tutorial

Published:18 February 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

This study addresses the issue of how to aid adoption of new interaction means for mobile devices. The research problem is how to promote and guide the use of new movement interaction modalities to a novice user, who has no prior knowledge of gesture control. The aim was to create a pleasurable experience that invites users to learn how mobile device movement control works. The main contribution is an interaction tutorial application that combines gesture control with a physical visual tangible object in a mobile device, demonstrating interaction elements that are potentially applicable in future mobile devices.
