EMotoPhone adds a new dimension to cell phone interaction by allowing users to send personalized emoticons over the phone to show how they are feeling, in order to augment verbal communication. The EMotoPhone icons can also be sent independently, outside of the context of a conversation. For example, if you are too busy to engage in a conversation,but you want to let someone know that you are thinking of them, you can send them an EMotoPhone wink. Using real faces for the EMotoPhone icons makes cell phone interaction richer, more personalized, and more fun!
