Motion Controlled Smartphone Previewed

Posted by simoniker on from the wave-friends-off dept.

BoB writes "The folks at MobileBurn have had a chance to play in detail with a new motion controlled smartphone prototype by MyOrigo, called 'mydevice'. Surprisingly, it actually works quite well, and the writer claims it's fun to use, too. Is this the start of a whole range of motion controlled devices?" We covered a previous showing of MyOrigo's device a few months back.

    can imagine how annoying it would be to have web pages scroll when you don't want them to scroll just because you were walking too quickly or the car or train you were travelling in provided a less than perfect ride.

    RTFA. There is a button you have to "lightly touch" before the scrolling works, so no accidental scrolling because of random movements.

    I do however wonder how controlable the scrolling would be in the situations you mention.
