More Information
Summary:An example method includes identifying, by a mobile computing device that includes a housing and a presence-sensitive display, and based on a first group of sensor signals provided at least by an inertial measurement unit included in one or more sensors, at least one first gesture that is performed at portions of the housing, wherein the one or more portions are separate from the display, initiating an interaction mode, outputting at least one visual or audio indicator for the interaction mode that is associated with a particular function of the mobile computing device, identifying, based on a third group of sensor signals provided by the one or more sensors, at least one second gesture that is performed at the one or more portions of the housing to confirm a user selection of the particular function, and, responsive to identifying the at least one second gesture, performing the particular function.
