“…A higher throughput may be explained by the fast task completion time of the tapping gesture, while the dwellbased selection gesture had a delay of 1000 ms. The speed superiority of the tapping gesture compared to the dwell-based gesture (500-800 ms) has been reported in previous studies [12,15]. A low number of re-entries for the tapping gesture was not expected because other researchers that compared tapping and dwell-based gestures in interaction with conventional screens have reported opposite findings [12,15].…”

“…Different researchers favored different gestures for selection tasks, making a choice based on the gestures' salient characteristics. For example, dwell-based interaction is intuitive and accurate [12][13][14], whereas tapping gestures are fast and consistent with touchscreen interaction [15][16][17]. Some researchers combined mid-air gestural techniques with other modalities, such as the voice [18] or physical buttons [19].…”

“…During the target acquisition state of the dwell-based gesture, a green arc animation rotated around the target (Figure 4d) to indicate the progress of the dwell. The dwell time, set at 1000 ms, was determined through pilot testing and average values from previous studies [12,14,17,21]. Once the dwell time was completed, the target turned green and and disappeared, and a clicking sound was played while a new target appeared in a different location of the fog.…”

Projected walk-through fogscreens have been created, but there is little research on the evaluation of the interaction performance with fogscreens. The present study investigated mid-air hand gestures for interaction with a large fogscreen. Participants (N = 20) selected objects from a fogscreen using tapping and dwell-based gestural techniques, with and without vibrotactile/haptic feedback. In terms of Fitts’ law, the throughput was about 1.4 bps to 2.6 bps, suggesting that gestural interaction with a large fogscreen is a suitable and effective input method. Our results also suggest that tapping without haptic feedback has good performance and potential for interaction with a fogscreen, and that tactile feedback is not necessary for effective mid-air interaction. These findings have implications for the design of gestural interfaces suitable for interaction with fogscreens.

“…is might be because this technique was rated as low in overall difficulty, accurate, and easy to detect. Previously, it had been found that dwell-time-based interaction by palm gesture was the best gesture for item selection because of being the most intuitive [30,33,36] and more accurate [2] than fist techniques. us, our findings seem to be in line with the earlier studies investigating midair gestural interaction.…”

Midair gestural interaction has gained a lot of attention over the past decades, with numerous attempts to apply midair gestural interfaces with large displays (and TVs), interactive walls, and smart meeting rooms. These attempts, reviewed in numerous studies, utilized differing gestural techniques for the same action making them inherently incomparable, which further makes it difficult to summarize recommendations for the development of midair gestural interaction applications. Therefore, the aim was to take a closer look at one common action, translation, that is defined as dragging (or moving) an entity to a predefined target position while retaining the entity’s size and rotation. We compared performance and subjective experiences (participants = 30) of four midair gestural techniques (i.e., by fist, palm, pinch, and sideways) in the repetitive translation of 2D objects to short and long distances with a large display. The results showed statistically significant differences in movement time and error rate favoring translation by palm over pinch and sideways at both distances. Further, fist and sideways gestural techniques showed good performances, especially at short and long distances correspondingly. We summarize the implications of the results for the design of midair gestural interfaces, which would be useful for interaction designers and gesture recognition researchers.
