Smart phones provide a rich set of tools that let users control and interact with their environments. Because these feature-packed mobile phones are pervasive, they might become the default physical interface for ubiquitous computing applications, providing the foundation for new interaction paradigms. A brief tour illustrates the technologies currently available for using the smart phone as an input device. The overview structures existing interaction techniques in a preliminary design space that helps identify the range of existing techniques as well as key design considerations for deploying these interaction techniques in real-world applications. Such an analysis can help inspire applications beginning to use these technologies and inform the design of future smart phone interaction techniques.
