“When it gets more difficult, use both hands”

“…Exploring Bimanual Curve Manipulation” by Russell Owen, Gordon Kurtenbach, George Fitzmaurice, Thomas Baudel, Bill Buxton (2005) Investigated “…relationship between bimanual (two-handed) manipulation and the cognitive aspects of task integration, divided attention and the epistemic action.” “We provide evidence that the bimanual technique has better performance than the unimanual technique and, as the task becomes more [ READ MORE ]

“PreSense”

“…Interaction Techniques for Finger Sensing Input Devices” by Jun Rekimoto, Takaaki Ishizawa, Carsten Schwesig, Haruo Oba (UIST 2003) “PreSense is a keypad that is enhanced by touch (or proximity) sensors based on capacitive sensing.” A normal physical button pad with touch sensing on top of each key. Extension of previous “SmartPad” system. Essence of direct [ READ MORE ]

“SmartPad”

“…A Finger-Sensing Keypad for Mobile Interaction” by Jun Rekimoto, Takaaki Ishizawa, Haruo Oba (CHI 2003) “…a new input device for mobile computers that is an enhanced physical keypad by a finger position sensor.” “…combines two input sensors; one is a normal physical keypad, and the other is a finger position sensor based on capacitive sensing.” [ READ MORE ]

“Touch&Type”

“…A Novel Pointing Device for Notebook Computers” by W. Fallot-Burghardt, M. Fjeld, C. Speirs, S. Ziegenspeck, H. Krueger, T. Läubli (NordiCHI 2006) “…combines a conventional keyboard with an extended touch pad whereby the touch pad’s sensitive area is formed by the surface of the keys themselves and thus can be made as large as the [ READ MORE ]

“Layered Touch Panel”

“…The Input Device with Two Touch Panel Layers” by Yujin Tsukada, Takeshi Hoshino (CHI 2002) “…two touch panel layers, so that it is able to distinguish two touch states such as ‘finger on screen’ and ‘finger above screen’.” Adds an invisible infrared field about 20mm above the physical touch screen. Allows for a “rollover effect” [ READ MORE ]
