In mobile devices, such as mobile phones and PDAs, an integrated camera can be used to interact with the device in new ways. In this paper we introduce the term mixed interaction space and argue that the possibility of using mixed interaction spaces is what distinguishes camerabased interaction from other types of sensor-based interaction on mobile devices. We present our implemented applications, and related work that use mixed interaction spaces. Based on this we address how mixed interaction spaces can have different identities, be mapped to applications, and how it can be visualized.
