Abstract
Systems and methods are provided that relate to vibrational input elements configured to provide inputs to control an application executed by a mobile computing device. The vibrational input elements may produce distinct vibration patterns that are detectable by a sensor of the mobile computing device. The respective vibration patterns may correspond to one or more actions that may be performed in relation to the application.
