Abstract

Traditionally, interaction methods for wearable computershave focused on input to the computer itself, yet littlehas been done when it comes to allowing interaction withthe surrounding environment. Pervasive computing, on theother hand, offers access to computational power from anyplace all the time, yet most interaction techniques utilize eitherphysical hardware or monitoring of the user in orderto receive input.This paper presents a novel form of interaction by whicha wearable computer user can interact with and control apervasive computing environment in a natural and intuitivemanner. Using sensors, the user can be allowed to literally"throw" events into the environment as a way of interactingwith devices and computers.
