Haven't read the article yet, but I often just hold it on my lap. That way, i can use at least three fingers of each hand, which makes for quick pinpoint accuracy. Check out my games at www.ThePionEar.net and my music, and that of my band, at www.ThePionEar.net/BlindLabyrinth.html .

Re: [Audyssey] Ear Monsters. New 3D Audio Game for iOS
Hi Cara, Thanks for your comments. I got the information about how people hold their devices from online interactions with users. The first reports were "the sounds are playing on the wrong side," which I naively chalked up to people putting their headphones on backwards. After some back and forth, we were able to determine what was going on. I also learned a bit of a lesson in humility-when your player says "yes, I'm certain my headphones are on correctly", it is good to believe them J.
