MotionBeam: designing for movement with handheld projectors

In this paper we present a novel interaction metaphor for handheld projectors we label MotionBeam. We detail a number of interaction techniques that utilize the physical movement of a handheld projector to better express the motion and physicality of projected objects. Finally we present the first iteration of a projected character design that uses the MotionBeam metaphor for user interaction. Keywords Interaction techniques, handheld projector, pico projector, character, gesture, movement, motion. ACM Classification Keywords H5.m.
