Is the audio monitoring by your (real) phone for "OK Google" an example of non-command passive input? The command is "OK Google", but there is a lot of "listening" that happens waiting for the command. It seems like there is continual input processing and very little makes it past the "OK Google" filter, which generates a command (event) to the OS.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p

moving away from typical to atypical inputs. Controller input *<b>might</b>* be converted into commands. I am trying to deal with the cases where controller input is NOT converted to commands. Can we list them? What do we call controller input which isn’t commands? Is there a term for it? Ambient input? Here’s a use of the term: <a href="https://blog.joshlewis.org/2007/03/22/passive-ambient-input/">https://blog.joshlewis.org/2007/03/22/passive-ambient-input/</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>How do we collect and analyze these inputs?
