Interaction With Tilting Gestures In Ubiquitous Environments

In this paper, we introduce a tilting interface that controls direction based applications in ubiquitousenvironments. A tilt interface is useful for situations that require remote and quick interactions or thatare executed in public spaces. We explored the proposed tilting interface with different application typesand classified the tilting interaction techniques. Augmenting objects with sensors can potentially addressthe problem of the lack of intuitive and natural input devices in ubiquitous environments. We haveconducted an experiment to test the usability of the proposed tilting interface to compare it withconventional input devices and hand gestures. The experiment results showed greater improvement of thetilt gestures in comparison with hand gestures in terms of speed, accuracy, and user satisfaction.
