Abstract

A promising new way of interacting with computing devices is by using our feet. Foot interaction has the potential of being an intuitive, easy to use and enjoyable way of interaction. However, there are very few guidelines for using foot interaction, or specifically foot gestures. In this research we conduct a user elicitation study for foot interaction on a horizontal surface to produce user-defined gesture sets for actions taken from two domains -- typical GUI actions and avatar controls. We analyze how foot gestures differentiate from hand gestures, point out foot gesture properties and discuss general observations.

Better Understanding of Foot Gestures: An Elicitation Study
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We present a study aimed to better understand users' perceptions of foot gestures employed on a horizontal surface. We applied a user elicitation methodology, in which participants were asked to suggest foot gestures to actions (referents) in three ...
Pointing by gaze, head, and foot in a head-mounted display
ETRA '19: Proceedings of the 11th ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications

This paper presents a Fitts' law experiment and a clinical case study performed with a head-mounted display (HMD). The experiment compared gaze, foot, and head pointing. With the equipment setup we used, gaze was slower than the other pointing methods, ...
