1. A portable device, comprising:
- a motion detector configured to output motion information as a function of at least one movement of the portable device;
an orientation detector configured to output direction information as a function of an orientation of the portable device, the direction information identifying a pointing direction of the portable device; and
at least one processor configured to;
present a set of points of interest, the set of points of interest being generated at least in part from the pointing direction of the portable device;
filter the set of points of interest, based on a selection gesture undergone by the portable device, to a subset of one or more points of interest within the pointing direction, wherein the selection gesture is a distinct motion or gesture apart from the pointing direction of the mobile device;
receive a selection of a digital canvas from a plurality of retrievable digital canvases respectively corresponding to the subset of one or more points of interest; and
superimpose digital graffiti onto the selected digital canvas in response to a graffiti gesture undergone by the portable device, the graffiti gesture being identified at least in part by graffiti motion information.

Abstract
The subject disclosure provides a device, computer readable storage medium, and method for converting gestures undergone by a device into digital graffiti. The disclosure includes ascertaining an orientation of the device and a path traversed by the device. Gestures undergone by the device are identified as a function of the orientation and the path. Digital graffiti corresponding to the gestures are then superimposed onto a digital canvas.

10. A computer hardware storage device, comprising computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions including instructions for performing the following acts:
-
present a set of points of interest at a portable device, the set of points of interest being generated at least in part from direction information, the direction information identifying a pointing direction of the portable device; filter the set of points of interest, based on a selection gesture undergone by the portable device, to a subset of one or more points of interest within the pointing direction, wherein the selection gesture is a distinct motion or gesture apart from the pointing direction of the mobile device; receive a selection of a digital canvas from a plurality of retrievable digital canvases respectively corresponding to the subset of one or more points of interest; identify a graffiti gesture undergone by the portable device; and superimpose digital graffiti onto the digital canvas in response to the graffiti gesture. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
employing a computer hardware storage device having instructions stored thereon that are operable, when executed by one or more computing processors, to cause a computing system to implement the following acts; present a set of points of interest at a portable device, the set of points of interest being generated at least in part from a pointing direction of the portable device, the pointing direction being identified by direction information; filter the set of points of interest, based on a selection gesture undergone by the portable device, to a subset of one or more points within the pointing direction, wherein the selection gesture is a distinct motion or gesture apart from the pointing direction of the mobile device; receive a selection of a digital canvas from a plurality of retrievable digital canvases respectively corresponding to the subset of one or more points of interest; identify a graffiti gesture undergone by the portable device; and superimpose digital graffiti onto the digital canvas in response to the graffiti gesture. - View Dependent Claims (17)
