In this new technological era, with the advent of NFC wireless technology, it is now possible to exchange information between NFC-enabled devices. Physical objects are being enhanced with NFC tags into smart objects. However, in order to fully interact with such smart objects, new modes of interaction techniques need to be created. People have long been accustomed to a standard mode of interaction with all the various types of electrical appliances that may exist, no matter how powerful they may be. The mode being referred to here is the Direct Input method, where users have to manually handle the interface of these appliances. But now with wireless technologies such as RFID and NFC, a new mode of interaction known as the Physical Mobile Interaction technique is getting known. This technique opens new avenues on the way to interact with smart objects but because it is a new and innovative technique, people require undergoing a learning curve before it is fully accepted. The Physical Mobile Interaction presents different techniques to interact with a smart environment, among which there is the Touching interaction technique. This method requires NFC-enabled mobile devices to exchange information with smart objects. The mobile can read or even write information to such objects and does not require the user to manually input values. Even though this technique is implemented using the mobile, it is not as invisible as the Direct Input method since it is new. Nonetheless, the aim of this project is to compare the efficiency of both the Direct Input and the Touching methods. However, it should be pointed out that the purpose of the Touching method is not to completely replace the Direct Input method, but to be used as a supplementary technique where possible in order to facilitate the tasks of users.
