环境智能的普遍愿景强调用户与环境中嵌入的或通过移动设备提供的功能和服务之间的自然交互。在这些场景中，物理世界和虚拟世界无缝地相互连接，使得跨越这些世界之间的边界对用户来说是自然的，甚至是看不见的。实现这些场景的瓶颈出现在物理对象与其虚拟对象之间的自然映射中。移动设备中本地连接的出现为实现新颖的用户界面范例以增强这种映射提供了可能性。我们提出了物理选择范例，用于为移动设备实现直观的人类技术交互。为了证明该范例的可行性，我们使用具有 IrDA 连接的市售智能手机实施了两个实验设置。实验包括通过实际指向网站符号来选择网站，并通过指向代表要呼叫的人的图标来拨打电话。在尝试性的用户实验中，物理选择方法比传统方法更省时，并且用户的感知更积极。
The prevalent visions of ambient intelligence emphasise natural interaction between user and functions and services embedded in the environment or available through mobile devices. In these scenarios the physical and virtual worlds seamlessly gear into each other, making crossing the border between these worlds natural or even invisible to the user. The bottleneck in reaching these scenarios appear in the natural mapping between the physical objects and their virtual counterparts. The emergence of local connectivity in mobile devices opens possibilities for implementing novel user interface paradigms to enhance this mapping. We present physical selection paradigm for implementing an intuitive human technology interaction for mobile devices. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of the paradigm we implemented two experimental set-ups using commercially available smart phones with IrDA connectivity. The experiments involved selecting a website by physically pointing at its symbol and making a phone call by pointing at an icon representing the person to be called. In tentative user experiments the physical selection method was more time-efficient and it was perceived more positively by the users than a conventional method.
