Abstract
More natural communication with ubiquitous digital devices requires new ways of interaction between humans and computers. Although the desktop metaphor and the windows, icons, menu, and pointing device (WIMP) paradigm work well in the office computer, different means of interaction might be more suitable for mobile terminals and their communication with ambient devices, objects and services. We present three cases where physical selection1 may prove advantageous over more traditional ways of interaction. Also, we suggest different ways of realising physical selection and compare their characteristics. Finally, we give an example of physical selection in the case of activating and reading a temperature sensor wirelessly. In the future, we shall investigate the possibility of implementing the physical selection paradigm with mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants.
