Abstract

In this paper we present a novel input device and associated UI metaphors for Cloud computing. Cloud computing will give users access to huge amount of data in new forms as well as anywhere and anytime, with applications ranging from Web data mining to social networks. The motivation of this work is to provide users access to cloud computing by a new personal device and to make nearby displays a personal displayer. The key points of this device are direct-point operation, grasping UI and tangible feedback. A UI metaphor for cloud computing is also introduced.
