Abstract

We have built haptic interfaces featuring smartphones that use magnetometer-derived orientation sensing to modulate virtual displays. Embedding such devices into swinging a ordances allows a "poi"-style interface, whirling tethered devices, for a novel interaction technique. Dynamic twirling can be used to control multimodal displays - including positions of sources & sinks in spatial sound, subjects (avatars) & objects in virtual environments, and object movies ("turnos") & panoramas ("panos") in image-based renderings. This "practically panoramic" multimodal interface can be enjoyed in an appropriate spot as location-based entertainment, locative media for cross-platform, "mobile ambient" experience.
