Exploring Thumb Input on Flexible Tablets
… but little work has been done to support touch input. Touch is the most common input method for handheld devices. We explore the potential of touch input using the thumb of the holding hand on flexible displays. We conducted two studies to evaluate tapping and swiping with thumb input, and …

Designing multimodal interaction for the visually impaired
Although multimodal computer input is believed to have advantages over unimodal input, little has been done to understand how to design a multimodal input mechanism to facilitate visually impaired users' information access. This research investigates sighted and visually impaired users' multimodal …

Effects of alcohol and error criticality on alphanumeric target acquisition
… for target alphanumeric characters using a touch-input equipped CRT under four levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), 0.0, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09 percent. Participants visually searched randomly generated 108-character arrays for imbedded target characters, touching the CRT surface at …

Evaluating the Performance of Direct Injection and TUIO-based Protocols for Multi-Touch Data Transfer
… hardware vendors have released drivers for multi-touch devices running on Windows 7. Since direct injection of multi-touch input uses the Human Interface Device (HID) for USB protocol, it represents a new way of transferring touch data to client applications acting as an alternative to the …

3D from 2D touch
… of sensors now allow users to interact through touch, speech, or using their whole body in 3D space. These new interaction modalities are often referred to as "natural user interfaces" or "NUIs." While 2D NUIs have experienced major success on billions of mobile touch devices sold, 3D NUI …

Compact and low-power computational 3D sensors for gestural input
… devices is display size. With the adoption of touch as the de facto input, the mobile screen doubles as a display and an input device. Touchscreen interfaces have several limitations: the act of touching the screen occludes the display, interface elements like on-screen keyboards consume …

Extending touch with eye gaze input
Direct touch manipulation with displays has become one of the primary means by which people interact with computers. Exploration of new interaction methods that work in unity with the standard direct manipulation paradigm will be of bene t for the many users of such an input paradigm. In many …
