“…al introduces trigger based dynamic change in layout for rolling bar and floating menu button. Their results shows that trigger based elements improve reachability on a large device, and can reduce interaction time and device tilting [3]. Our research contribution is different from these prior works in the form that adapting existing UI element and measuring overall device orientation for phone stability.…”

One-handed use of smartphones is a common scenario in daily life. However, use of smartphones with thumb gives limited reachability to the complete screen. This problem is more severe when targets are located at corners of the device or far from the thumb's reachable area. Adjusting screen size mitigates this issue by making screen UI to be at the reach of the thumb. However, it does not utilize available screen space. We propose UI adaptation for action bar to address this. With our results, designed adaptations are faster for non-dominant hand and provides significantly better grip stability for holding smartphones. Intriguingly, users perceived our system as faster, more comfortable and providing safer grip when compared with the existing placement of action bar. We conclude our work with video analyses for grip patterns and recommendations for UI designers.

“…In addition, there are techniques to tweak the keyboard layout for one-handed operation. The keyboard snaps to one side of the screen and one can use the arrow button to switch sides 3 . However, re-sizing the screen outcasts the benefit of the large screen smartphones [10].…”

Digital Libraries at the Crossroads of Digital Information for the Future

Our active lifestyles see us playing, pausing, and skipping through life all the while our phones are in our hands. For many, completing the daily grind requires regular audio and visual media accompaniment and for this we interact with our phones as we skip, run, and jump. In this respect, a unique form of digital library is our mobile media player of choice. These media players serve as both the interface for listening to and watching these audio and visual media as well as the media library and storage. We argue therefore that the interface design considerations of the media library as well as the media interaction require user centered investigation. We tested button placement variations and analyzed the user preferences as well as user interaction with these mobile media player prototypes while on the move. Early insights suggest users prefer what they are most accustomed to, yet issues of accuracy with interface designs that are unfamiliar require further investigation.
