Abstract

The wristwatch is a device that is quick to access, but is currently under-utilized as a platform for interaction. We investigate interaction on a circular touchscreen wristwatch, empirically determining the error rate for variously-sized buttons placed around the rim. We consider three types of inter-target movements, and derive a mathematical model for error rate given a movement type and angular and radial button widths.

Gesture interaction for wall-sized touchscreen display
UbiComp '13 Adjunct: Proceedings of the 2013 ACM conference on Pervasive and ubiquitous computing adjunct publication

In order to improve the user experience in a large touchscreen, this research introduces gesture interaction into wall-sized touchscreen. According to the distance between user and display, we create two interaction modes for touch and body gesture ...
Estimating virtual touchscreen for fingertip interaction with large displays
OZCHI '06: Proceedings of the 18th Australia conference on Computer-Human Interaction: Design: Activities, Artefacts and Environments

Large displays are everywhere. However, the computer mouse remains the most common interaction tool for such displays. We propose a new approach for fingertip interaction with large display systems using monocular computer vision. By taking into account ...
Interaction techniques for unreachable objects on the touchscreen
OzCHI '12: Proceedings of the 24th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference

Large-screen mobile devices have recently been introduced. While they can display more information on the screen, they have raised the issue of thumb reachability during one-handed use. To solve this problem, we designed four factorial combinations of ...
