Interesting Mobile Interaction

I love randomly coming across ideas for mobile that push the boundaries.

This company has crafted a method for typing that does not require ones finger to come off of the screen. All you have to do is touch the first letter of the word you want to spell then swipe over the other letters in the word and it uses predictive text technology to figure out what you are trying to type. It also allows for multiple words with one swipe.

I would be interested to see how accurate their technology is and how many times they get the correct words compared to the incorrect words.

I love the idea of a software on mobile devices adapted for one handed use. Do I think that it will make it safer to drive with? No. But I do think that it is a step in the right direction. Software and Design innovation many times comes from realizing the obvious. Observing many people using mobile devices with one hand naturally sparks the question, can the devices be adapted to better accommodate the use?

Slick mobile ideas make me happy
