“…This is in line with previous research by e.g. Buxton and Myers (1986) and Balakrishnan and Hinckley (1999). However, the set of gestures required fine tuning with decreased sensitivity.…”

“…With three touches, six DOFs could be implemented, and a higher number of touches resulted in an improvement both for performance and user preference. Also, pioneering research by Lee et al (1985) and Buxton and Myers (1986) shows that the technology provides benefits in terms of interaction. Within maritime research, Mills (2005) emphasises that in safety critical situations, button press combinations can be very hard to remember.…”

“…While typically asymmetric, both hands influence each other leading to a kinematic chain [13]. Studies show that bimanual interaction can improve performance [9,19]. At the same time, the body provides the kinesthetic reference frame, i.e., the user's sense of where one hand is relative to the body and the other hand [5].…”

Abstract. In everyday office work, people smoothly use the space on their physical desks to work with documents of interest, and to keep tools and materials nearby for easy use. In contrast, the limited screen space of computer displays imposes interface constraints. Associated material is placed off-screen (i.e., temporarily hidden) and requires extra work to access (window switching, menu selection) or crowds and competes with the work area (e.g., palettes and icons). This problem is worsened by the increasing popularity of small displays such as tablets and laptops. To mitigate this problem, we investigate how we can exploit an unadorned physical desk space as an additional input canvas. With minimal augmentation, our Unadorned Desk detects coarse hovering over and touching of discrete areas ('items') within a given area on an otherwise regular desk, which is used as input to the desktop computer. We hypothesize that people's spatial memory will let them touch particular desk locations without looking. In contrast to other augmented desks, our system provides optional feedback of touches directly on the computer's screen. We conducted a user study to understand how people make use of this input space. Participants freely placed and retrieved items onto/from the desk. We found that participants organize items in a grid-like fashion for easier access later on. In a second experiment, participants had to retrieve items from a predefined grid. When only few (large) items are located in the area, participants were faster without feedback and there was (surprisingly) no difference in error rates with or without feedback. As the item number grew (i.e., items shrank to fit the area), participants increasingly relied on feedback to minimize errors -at the cost of speed.

“…Similarly, with bimanual interaction, several results describe the nature of symmetric and asymmetric tasks. In one classic study, Buxton and Myers [3] compared the distribution and efficiency of labour with unimanual to bimanual interactions. The participants in their study were grouped into experts and novices.…”

Abstract. Two-handed interaction is a very common paradigm that is gaining popularity in the fields of medical tele-operation, gaming, and large-scale design. In this paper, we validate Guiard's theory of bimanual control for the tasks of navigation and selection. We present the related literature and the theoretical models that motivate the research, in particular Guiard's theory of bimanual control. Two experiments are designed to verify and establish the relationship between navigation and selection in bimanual interaction based on Guiard's theory. The contributions assist interaction designers in developing adequate tools for bimanual operation.
