It’d be interesting to make this a wiki page and allow users to write in an outline of your conversation. It’s kind of not time efficient to have to listen to the whole episode if I am only interested in one thing. Stackoverflow blog does that.

I’m still interested in your thoughts about the relation between “throw speed” and the classic problem of timing (question in my comment above). I still imagine that a defined “quick throw gesture” could potentially be too slow for some users and too quick for others.

Just wanted to let you know that I just stopped listening and didnt listen till the end. In Part maybe because the audio was so hard to hear but also I didnt get the topic/points. Maybe this interaction-stuff is not transported via podcast in the bestway? Maybe only me…

Dude, make a podcast. Its ultra easy if you use posterous.com. Just fwd the mp3’s to your posterous and it gives you a iTunes friendly podcast feed. Hells yea!

About the Throw gesture: Don’t you anticipate similar problems like with timing-based interaction?

If I understand the Throw gesture correctly, it’s recognized when the speed of motion is beyond a certain threshold (plus some other factors). So, similar to a single- vs. double-click gesture, you’re using an originally quantitative measure (time/motion) and defining a threshold (delay/velocity) that divides it up into distinct (qualitative) features.

I’m just thinking: When measuring speed is timing-dependent, too, don’t the same kind of difficulties come up? Like, what is “quick” to one user may be “slow” to the other, and the other way round. How to select the (universal) threshold value?

Aza’s comment in the ‘cast makes it sound as if it’s easy to find the Firefox Mobile demo from the front door of his blog. I’m not finding it that way. Had to use search engine. Sigh,

Also, couldn’t make out what the codename was supposed to be. Zipf’s law and audio encoders are sometimes at odds. :)

Fun! To Faaborg’s point on biological motion, emulating the motion of natural objects engages more stuff in the brain.

There’s an example from real world research. Reflectors on clothing for pedestrians are much more effective if they’re distributed across joints — a couple on the torso, one on upper arm, one on lower, etc.
