Abstract

Motivation: Amouse is widely popular for controlling the graphic user interface due to its ease of use. Its attraction will soon penetrate well beyond just computers. There already have been mice designed for game consoles and smart TVs. A smart TV allows a user to run popular computer programs and smartphone applications. More and more devices in the future, such as Google Glasses, baby monitors, and new generation of home appliances, will all desire mouse functionalities, which allow users to choose from a wide variety of options and easily click on different parts of the view. However, a traditional mouse, which requires a flat and smooth surface to operate, cannot satisfy many new usage scenarios. A user wants to interact with the remote device on the move. For example, a speaker wants to freely move around and click on different objects in his slide; a smart TV user wants to watch TV in any part of a room; a Google Glass user wants to query about objects while touring around. Wouldn’t it be nice if a user can simply turn his smartphone or smart watch into a mouse by moving it in the air?

演示:在空中将移动设备变成鼠标

动机:鼠标因其易于使用而被广泛用于控制图形用户界面。它的吸引力将很快渗透到计算机以外的领域。目前已经出现了为游戏机和智能电视设计的鼠标。智能电视允许用户运行流行的计算机程序和智能手机应用程序。未来越来越多的设备，如谷歌眼镜、婴儿监视器和新一代家用电器，都将需要鼠标功能，允许用户从各种各样的选项中进行选择，并轻松点击视图的不同部分。然而，传统的鼠标，需要一个平坦光滑的表面来操作，不能满足许多新的使用场景。用户希望与移动中的远程设备进行交互。例如，演讲者想要自由移动并点击幻灯片中的不同对象;智能电视用户想在房间的任何地方看电视;谷歌眼镜用户想要在旅行时查询物体。如果用户只需在空中移动智能手机或智能手表，就能把它变成鼠标，这不是很好吗?
