GeoPoke: rotational mechanical systems metaphor for embodied geosocial interaction

ABSTRACT

Rotational dynamic system models can be used to enrich tightly-coupled, bearing-aware embodied control of movement-sensitive mobile devices and support a more bidirectional, negotiated style of interaction. A simulated rotational spring system is used to provide natural eyes-free feedback in both the audio and haptic channels in a geosocial mobile networking context.
