Abstract

An approach to providing tangible feedback to users of a mobile device in both highly visual touchscreen-based and eyes-free interaction scenarios and the transition between the two is presented. A rotational dynamical systems metaphor for the provision of feedback is proposed, which provides users with physically based feedback via the audio, tactile and visual senses. By using a consistent metaphor in this way it is possible to support the seamless movement between highly visual touch-based interaction and eyes-free gestural interaction.
