“…Yet, hands impose kinematic constraints that make it easier to draw strokes in some directions and more difficult others. Prior work on marking menus has studied the speed and accuracy with which users can draw one or more directional strokes in the context of stylus and mouse-based marking menus [Kurtenbach and Buxton 1993;Moyle and Cockburn 2002;Zhao et al 2006;Zhao and Balakrishnan 2004]. Working with two hands using touch-based devices is likely to impose a different set of constraints on the hand motions.…”

We investigate multi-stroke marking menus for multitouch devices and we show that using two hands can improve performance. We present two new two-handed multi-stroke marking menu variants in which users either draw strokes with both hands simultaneously or alternate strokes between hands. In a pair of studies we find that using two hands simultaneously is faster than using a single, dominant-handed marking menu by 10-15%. Alternating strokes between hands doubles the number of accessible menu items for the same number of strokes, and is similar in performance to using a one-handed marking menu. We also examine how stroke direction affects performance. When using thumbs on an iPod Touch, drawing strokes upwards and inwards is faster than other directions. For two-handed simultaneous menus, stroke pairs that are bilaterally symmetric or share the same direction are fastest. We conclude with design guidelines and sample applications to aid multitouch application developers interested in using one-and two-handed marking menus.

“…Strokes are scale-independent and users can draw them in-place and in an eyes-free manner. Extensive studies have shown that users can draw directional strokes quickly and accurately [Kurtenbach and Buxton 1993;Moyle and Cockburn 2002;Zhao et al 2006]. Marking menus also facilitate novice to expert transition.…”

“…Adding this online correction to flicking gestures significantly improved their accuracy. Another study by Moyle and Cockburn [13] compared linear mouse and pen flicking gestures, and found mouse flicking to be more accurate. They also showed that downwards flicking gestures where conducted more slowly than those pointing upwards.…”

Flicking is a common interaction technique to move objects across large interactive surfaces, but little is known about its suitability for use on non-planar, curved surfaces. Flicking consists of two stages: First, visually determining the direction in which to flick the object, then planning and executing the corresponding gesture. Errors in both stages could influence flicking accuracy. We investigated flicking interactions on curved interactive surface to evaluate which type of error influences accuracy. Therefore, we carried out three user studies to analyze how each stage of flicking on a curved surface is influenced. Our main findings are: 1) Flicking gestures are more accurate if horizontal and vertical surface are joined by a continuous curve than if they are separated by an edge or gap. 2) Flicking gestures on curved surfaces are mostly influenced by the motor execution stage of the gesture rather than the visual perception stage. 3) Flicking accuracy decreases as the starting point of the gesture is moved closer to the curve. 4) We conclude with a first mathematical model to estimate the error users will make when flicking across a curve.

“…Since the touch screens have similar behavior as the mouse, mouse gesture recognizer [Moyle and Cockburn 2002;Lombardi and Porta 2007;Buckland 2002] could be adapted in order to be used by touch screen devices. But this could be very hard since they are not adapted for the low processing power and memory constraints of such devices.…”

Mobile phone games are usually design to be able to play using the traditional number pads of the handsets. This is stressfully difficult for the user interaction and consequently for the game design. Because of that, one of the most desired features of a mobile games is the usage of few buttons as possible. Nowadays, with the evolution of the mobile phones, more types of user interaction are appearing, like touch and accelerometer input. With these features, game developers have new forms of exploring the user input, being necessary to adapt or create new kinds of game play. With mobile phones equipped with 3D accelerometers, developers can use the simple motion of the device to control the game or use complex accelerated gestures. And with mobile phones equipped with the touch feature, they can use a simple touch or a complex touch gesture recognitions. For the gesture to be recognized one can use different methods like simple brute force gestures, that only works well on simple gestures, or more complex pattern recognition techniques like hidden Markov fields, fuzzy logic and neural networks. This work presents a novel framework for touch/accelerometer gesture recognition that uses hidden Markov model for recognition of the gestures. This framework can also be used for the development of mobile application with the use of gestures.
