I’ve spent part of my summer fixing a number of things in E15, including using the iPhone as an input device. Having spent a number of years working on embedded devices (and the software that runs on them), I think the iPhone has a bright future with respect to the design of interactive installations. A surprisingly large and diverse set of individuals already have iPhones today, and these numbers are likely to increase with the coming of the 3G version.
I threw together a little demonstration of using the multi-touch capabilities of the iPhone to navigate and interact with a collection of images from YouTube in the 3D E15 context. If you’re so inclined, I’ve written a slightly more technical description of these efforts in my personal blog.
If not, I’ll get straight to the point and give you the video. Enjoy!
