Foot Menu: Using Heel Rotation Information for Menu Selection

Interactions Under the Desk: A Characterisation of Foot Movements for Input in a Seated Position

“…Although heel rotation was perceived as the most comfortable movement, most foot-operated interfaces do not use this movement (an exception is Zhong et al's Foot Menu [26]). Our results are also in line with Scott et al's in which users also reported that heel rotation was the most comfortable gesture, followed by plantar flexion, toe rotation and dorsiflexion [3].…”

The Feet in Human--Computer Interaction

“…Several works explored the possibility of reassigning cursor control from the hands to the feet, but in these experiments, the mouse consistently outperformed all foot interfaces (Table VI). Garcia and Vu's results, however, suggest that this may not be because the feet Sellen et al 1992] Deictic & Manipulative [Pakkanen and Raisamo 2004], [Springer and Siebes 1996] [Balakrishnan et al 1999], [Chan and Chan 2009], ], [English et al 1967, [Garcia and Vu 2011], [Göbel et al 2013], [Kim and Kaber 2009], [Pearson and Weiser 1986], [Pearson and Weiser 1988a], [Pearson and Weiser 1988b], [Xavier et al 2011], [Zhong et al 2011] Intrinsic Semaphoric , [Tao et al 2012] Deictic & Manipulative [Xavier et al 2011], [Ye et al 2005] Extrinsic Semaphoric [Simeone et al 2014] Deictic & Manipulative [Chan et al 2010], [Jean and Albu 2008], [Shaukat et al 2010], [Xavier et al 2011], [Simeone et al 2014] Implicit [Bränzel et al 2013], [Tran et al 2012] Standing Mediated Semaphoric [Scott et al 2010] Deictic & Manipulative , Intrinsic Semaphoric [Alexander et al 2012], [LaViola Jr et al 2001], [Crossan et al 2010] Deictic & Manipulative [Choi and Ricci 1997], [Higuchi and Nojima 2010] Extrinsic Semaphoric [Augsten et al 2010], [Drossis et al 2013], [Jalaliniya et al 2013], [Jota e...…”

“…Other examples of works that use pedals include controlling a 3D modelling application [Balakrishnan et al 1999], text entry , supporting gaze input [Göbel et al 2013] and toggling the mode of operation of a piano keyboard [Mohamed and Fels 2002]. Zhong et al implemented a pivoting pedal that rotates around the heel in addition to up and down [Zhong et al 2011].…”

Use of Foot for Direct Interactions with Entities of a Virtual Environment Displayed on a Mobile Device

“…For example, it is not well accepted to receive an incoming call during a meeting. As a result, in the last five years, several research teams have investigated the possibility of using foot gestures to operate a cell phone when the hand is too dirty or busy [1], [25]. In [1] they have investigated foot gestures that can be in replacement of hand gestures for interactions such as: answering/ignoring incoming calls, lock/unlock a phone, play/pause music.…”

“…Others have recently initiated the exploration of new interactions paradigms with mobile devices [1], [25]. Mainly, as an alternative to situations when the hand is busy or too dirty, they have investigated the use of foot and lower-leg gestures for interacting with mobile devices.…”
