Mobile phones are becoming de facto pervasive devices for people's daily use. This demonstration illustrates a new interaction, Tilt & Touch, to enable a smart phone to be a 3D controller. It exploits capacitive touchscreen and built-in MEMS motion sensors. When people want to navigate in a virtual reality environment on a large display, they can tilt the phone for viewpoint transforming, touch the phone screen for avatar moving, and pinch screen for viewing camera zooming. The virtual objects in the virtual reality environment can be rotated accordingly by tilting the phone.

Technologies keep evolving to strengthen and further people's abilities in many aspects. For instance, vehicles expand the range of human moving while mobile phones boost the range of human communication. In this video, we develop a novel mini unmanned aerial vehicle (mini-UAV) named FlyingBuddy to augment human mobility and perceptibility. This prototype is made up of off the shelf components AR. Drone and iPhones with customized software. With help of the built-in magnetometer, GPS, and cameras, as well as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity, FlyingBuddy is capable of both manual controlled and self-piloted flying. It provides four typical services: flying to buy, flying to see, flying to report accident, and flying to take pictures.
