Abstract

The properties of force-based input on a handheld device were examined. Twenty-one participants used force input to set 10 different target levels representing consecutive force ranges (0 to 4N) with visual feedback (digits or bar graphs) or no feedback. Both accuracy and speed were greater with analog feedback (bar graph). Statistical comparisons of adjacent targets/digits indicated that subjects differentiated roughly seven input levels within the set of ten force ranges actually used. Time taken to input the target force increased significantly with the size of the target force, suggesting that smaller force ranges should be considered in future implementations of force input. The results are discussed in terms of the design of appropriate feedback for force input.

Mode switching techniques through pen and device profiles
APCHI '12: Proceedings of the 10th asia pacific conference on Computer human interaction

In pen-based interfaces, inking and gesturing are two central tasks, and switching from inking to gesturing is an important issue. Previous studies have focused on mode switching in pen-based desktop devices. However, because pen-based handheld devices ...
Tapping vs. circling selections on pen-based devices: evidence for different performance-shaping factors
CHI '04: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Tapping-based selection methods for handheld devices may need to be supplemented with other approaches as increasingly complex tasks are carried out using those devices. Circling selection methods (such as the Lasso) allow users to select objects on a ...
