“…After each successful rotation the participants were asked to touch a target marker, which was attached to the edge of the display. By returning their hand to a constant starting position, we could avoid issues with retrospective control [3]. In effect, users 'reset' their posture for each task.…”

Rotations performed with the index finger and thumb involve some of the most complex motor action among common multi-touch gestures, yet little is known about the factors affecting performance and ergonomics. This note presents results from a study where the angle, direction, diameter, and position of rotations were systematically manipulated. Subjects were asked to perform the rotations as quickly as possible without losing contact with the display, and were allowed to skip rotations that were too uncomfortable. The data show surprising interaction effects among the variables, and help us identify whole categories of rotations that are slow and cumbersome for users.

“…Clockwise rotations took longer to complete than anti-clockwise. This could be related to the fact that clockwise rotations by right-handed users are known to generate higher wrist extensor and dominant deltoid muscle activity than anti-clockwise rotations [3].…”

“…For example, the ways that objects are grasped partly reflect recent grasp history (Cohen and Rosenbaum, 2004, 2011; Dixon et al, 2012; Kelso et al, 1994; Rosenbaum and Jorgensen, 1992; Schutz et al, 2011; Short and Cauraugh, 1997). Similar effects of recent motor history have been shown for the spatial paths of arm movements during successive reaching actions (Jax and Rosenbaum, 2007), the coordinated patterns of bimanual rhythmic finger movements (Kelso, 1981, as cited in Weiss and Wark 2009), and the movement characteristics of paddle swings during table-tennis (Sorensen et al, 2001).…”

Human posterior parietal cortex mediates hand-specific planning

The processes underlying action planning are fundamental to adaptive behavior and can be influenced by recent motor experience. Here, we used a novel fMRI Repetition Suppression (RS) design to test the hypotheses that action planning unfolds more efficiently for successive actions made with the same hand. More efficient processing was predicted to correspond with both faster response times (RTs) to initiate actions and reduced fMRI activity levels – RS. Consistent with these predictions, we detected faster RTs for actions made with the same hand and accompanying fMRI-RS within bilateral posterior parietal cortex and right-lateralized parietal operculum. Within posterior parietal cortex, these RS effects were localized to intraparietal and superior parietal cortices. These same areas were more strongly activated for actions involving the contralateral hand. The findings provide compelling new evidence for the specification of action plans in hand-specific terms, and indicate that these processes are sensitive to recent motor history. Consistent with computational efficiency accounts of motor history effects, the findings are interpreted as evidence for comparatively more efficient processing underlying action planning when successive actions involve the same versus opposite hand.

Substantial amount of research in Psychology has studied how people manipulate objects in the physical world. This work has unveiled that people show strong signs of prospec tive motor planning, i.e., they choose initial grasps that avoid uncomfortable end postures and facilitate object manipula tion. Interactive tabletops allow their users great flexibility in the manipulation of virtual objects but to our knowledge pre vious work has never examined whether prospective motor control takes place in this context. To test this, we ran three experiments. We systematically studied how users adapt their grasp when asked to translate and rotate virtual objects on a multitouch tabletop. Our results demonstrate that target posi tion and orientation significantly affect the orientation of fin ger placement on the object. We analyze our results in the light of the most recent model of planning for manipulating physical objects and identify their implications for the design of tabletop interfaces.
