3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display characteristics of the graphical object are determined with reference to a change in a distance between the first device and the second device in the preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and a change in a distance between the first device and the second device in the preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display characteristics of the graphical object are determined with reference to a direction in which the second device is moved toward or away from the first device in the preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and a direction in which the second device is moved toward or away from the first device in the preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
providing visual feedback in which at least one of information on the input event, the first information, and the second information is visualized.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored thereon a computer program, the computer program, when executed, causing a processor to implement a method for providing a user interface, the method comprising the steps of:
when an input event occurs in which a user wearing a second device touches a graphical object displayed on a first device, acquiring first information on a relative motion of the second device with respect to the first device in a preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and acquiring second information on a relative motion of the second device with respect to the first device in a preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event; and
determining display characteristics of the graphical object with reference to the first information and the second information,
wherein an input means for generating the input event and the second device are integrally moved, and
wherein the display characteristics of the graphical object are determined with reference to a relative velocity of the second device with respect to the first device in the preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and a relative velocity of the second device with respect to the first device in the preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 6 , wherein the display characteristics of the graphical object are determined with reference to a relationship between a direction of the first device and a direction of the second device, which are specified with respect to at least one coordinate axis in the preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and a relationship between the direction of the first device and the direction of the second device, which are specified with respect to at least one coordinate axis in the preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 6 , wherein the display characteristics of the graphical object are determined with reference to a change in a distance between the first device and the second device in the preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and a change in a distance between the first device and the second device in the preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 6 , wherein the display characteristics of the graphical object are determined with reference to a direction in which the second device is moved toward or away from the first device in the preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and a direction in which the second device is moved toward or away from the first device in the preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises:
providing visual feedback in which at least one of information on the input event, the first information, and the second information is visualized.
11. A device for providing a user interface, comprising:
an information acquisition element configured to, when an input event in which a user wearing another device touches a graphical object displayed on the device occurs, acquire first information on a relative motion of the another device with respect to the device in a preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and acquire second information on a relative motion of the another device with respect to the device in a preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event; and
a program module for determining display characteristics of the graphical object with reference to the first information and the second information,
wherein an input means for generating the input event and the another device are integrally moved, and
wherein the display characteristics of the graphical object are determined with reference to a relative velocity of the another device with respect to the device in the preset time interval immediately preceding the time of occurrence of the input event, and a relative velocity of the another device with respect to the device in the preset time interval immediately following the time of occurrence of the input event.
