He is convinced that this new way of operating smartphones greatly increases the range of interactivity.
so that users can operate their smartphone effortlessly. But will smartphone users want to adapt to this new style of interaction?
Otmar Hilliges is confident they will. Gesture control will not replace touchscreen control but supplement it.
