Sumario:The article discusses possible approaches to miniaturizing surface area that is used to interact with mobile phones and computers. As the computational power devices have become smaller in size, the surface area for input and output has become the largest part of the device, even with the advent of miniscule screens and small keyboards. The author talks about Scratch Input, which works on gestural finger input or taps and Minput, responding to movements detected by optical tracking sensors on the device.
