Tilt and Scroll smartphone technology
Posted on Sep 28, 07 01:46 AM PDT
RotoView's "Tilt and Scroll" display navigation system for smartphones and other mobile gadgets have just had its European patent granted, making a RotoView-enabled smartphone a possibility sometime down the road. This user interface requires the user to tilt the device left-right or up-down in order to see beyond what is shown on the display, with the option to center the display anytime they like. You can even zoom in and out using this navigation system, and could bring about a revolution where handheld devices are concerned. How do you see this upcoming technology impact the way we use smartphones and other mobile devices?

imajoebob, you can choose to turn the tilt function on/off at your convenience to avoid "slipping" from the current page position :)

So when the glare makes me tilt my phone the stuff I wanted to read slides off the page? Really useful. And I've had such problems with that confusing scroll with the arrow buttons paradigm.

gak, thanks for the info. The HTC Advantage fared poorly in the implementation of this feature - here's hoping that RotoView would do a better job :)
