SqueezeDrop

Squeeze Interaction

The Squeeze Drop lacks any buttons to control the device as these were both perceived to be "old school" and did not contribute to a clean and elegant product. Interactions are done through a squeeze-based interface which we call Squifitti, a squeeze graffiti. In addition to squeezing the device the user can navigate through menus using a jog dial located on the perimeter of the screen with navigation similar to that of the the iPod.

The commands for squifitti are as follows:

Single squeeze while off turns it on
Single squeeze while on skips to the next track
Single squeeze while navigating through menus selects the active item
Double squeeze stops the player. If left alone for more than 30 seconds the player will turn off
Squeeze and hold for greater than 1/2 second goes back a track
Squeeze and turn dial increases / decreases the volume.
