Mice and keyboards represent a limited palette of interaction with a computer. Often, as when making a presentation, the use of a special purpose device-a gizmo- can greatly enhance the interaction. Wireless gizmos can also be shared amongst a number of users, allowing the boundary layer between physical and digital realms to be eroded.

This project aims to explore a number of different tools in this area. The first device, a six-degree-of-freedom Bluetooth wireless device from SparkFun, has proved remarkably compelling.
