[en] This work-in-progress paper presents a study of interaction techniques for mobile devices, with a focus on gaming scenarios. We introduce and explore usability and performance aspects of a novel compass based control for tangible around-device interaction, and compare it with traditional mobile gaming controls, such as touchscreen thumbstick, swiping and tilt-based approaches.
