GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

A new mobile phone from MyOrigo Ltd incorporates some interesting user interaction. The screen automatically adjusts its orientation depending on which way the user is holding the phone. Similarly, a user can tilt the phone to scroll to different areas of the content being displayed. There is haptic feedback; when virtual keys are pressed, the screen vibrates in response. The touchscreen also uses gestural input. You can turn a page by making a flicking motion. I’m curious to see how phone manufacturers balance use of virtual keys and physical keys in the next few years.
