Tangible interface designer and inventor
Andrea Bianchi, along with his colleague, Ian Oakley (
University of Madeira /
Carnegie Mellon Europe), have come with a novel approach to interacting with a mobile device. Using the magnetometer built into most modern smartphones, Bianchi and Oakley have created a series of tangible user interface
demonstrations that go beyond what’s achievable with capacitive touch displays.
