SUMMARY:Imaginary Interfaces: Interacting Spatially Without Visual Feedbac

DESCRIPTION:To increase mobility\, designers are creating ever smaller mob
 ile devices. After a certain point they are so small that a screen cannot 
 be included and the device no longer supports any sort of spatial interact
 ion (such as pointing) because\, seemingly\, there is nothing to point at.
  In this talk\, I will present Imaginary Interfaces\, a vision of hypermob
 ile devices that rejects this notion. These completely non-visual interfac
 es retain the model of spatial interaction by sensing where the user is po
 inting in free space or on their body. I will present a depth camera based
  prototype\, called Imaginary Phone\, which allows users to operate a real
  iPhone by mimicking iPhone interaction on their empty palm and a set user
  studies that explore methods of learning a non-visual pointing environmen
 t.
