Viewing Full Sized Documents on the Small Screen


A new product by F-Origin called IRIS is a new screen browsing technology that combines motion control with a small screen. This reportedly would let you do your browsing and side scrolling simply by changing your hand movements.
"Proven Concept
Application areas include various mobile terminals such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, GPS devices and wrist computers. IRIS is a mass production ready technology covered by patents and patent applications. IRIS technology is benchmarked both technically and commercially with MyOrigo smartphone.
IRIS Architecture
IRIS needs only some hardware (accelerometer) and a small piece of software code integrated into the customer’s platform. "

Think this is a revolutionary development or "close but no cigar"?

I think this is going to have to be a try before you buy thing for me, I can't tell if I'll like it or not. Steadiness is a big factor...

That's insane!
I agree with Pocky though. I have the shakes at times, so it may make me nauseous. Perhaps they could put one of those "SteadyCam" things on it so it would minimize small movements. That would be especially helpful on those turbulent flights!

If it has a calibration option, kinda like acceleration setting on a trackball, so it would only scroll when you want it to scroll, then it sounds good. I agree on the try before you buy on this one. I get motion sick too easily to have to chase my data across a PDA screen.

Yeah, that was another thing...A button you hold down when you want to scroll would be a must.
