Abstract

This paper reports our ongoing design and evaluation of two-handed input techniques for several common tasks found in desktop interfaces: specifying simple geometric shapes, navigating in a large document and navigating between windows on a desktop.

The role of kinesthetic reference frames in two-handed input performance
UIST '99: Proceedings of the 12th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology

We present experimental work which explores how the match (or mismatch) between the input space of the hands and the output space of a graphical display influences two-handed input performance. During interaction with computers, a direct correspondence ...
Manual and cognitive benefits of two-handed input: an experimental study

One of the recent trends in computer input is to utilize users' natural bimanual motor skills. This article further explores the potential benefits of such two-handed input. We have observed that bimanual manipulation may bring two types of advantages to ...
Exploring Two-handed Indirect Multi-touch Input for a Docking Task
AVI '16: Proceedings of the International Working Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces

To better understand the characteristics of two-handed indirect multi-touch input, we conducted a docking task experiment that asked participants to align two squares using one-finger dragging as well as two-finger pinch-to-zoom and rotation gestures in ...
