A haptic interface for mobile devices

ABSTRACT

The Chordic Graphical User Interface (CGUI) was originally developed at the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) to enable divers to control the WetPC® Underwater Computer. It comprises two main elements: a hand controller and a visual on-screen notation. The technology has numerous advantages for mobile computing, and can be readily combined with additional inputs and outputs to provide multi-modal control under almost any conditions. WetPC Pty Ltd is commercialising the technologies under license from AIMS for a broad range of markets and applications. The CGUI is useful anywhere that rapid, easy computer control is required under diverse and difficult conditions.
