twist and bend to enter data

After touch screens and
voice input, Microsoft’s
researchers have demonstrated
a new input system for portable
devices. Users can push, pull,
twist, swing or bend the devices
to go document pages, minimize
a window or play a game. Rather
than rubber gadgets with new
displays and components, flexible
parts of the housing of future
devices could use pressure
sensors. Microsoft considers it a
complement to multi-touch and
motion input systems.
