The latency of current mobile devices' touchscreens is around 100ms and has widely been explored. Latency down to 2ms is noticeable, and latency as low as 25ms reduces users' performance. Previous work reduced touch latency by... more
Since the rise of radio and television, we have lived in an era defined increasingly by the electronic circulation of images and sounds. But the flood of new computing technologies known as haptic interfaces—which use electricity,... more
Touchscreen technology and devices that use that technology have become widely popular over the past few years. Even so, very small amount of people knows that there are different technologies implemented in those devices that they use in... more
Open Access (download for free): https://meson.press/books/touchscreen-archaeology/ The touchscreen belongs to a century-long history of hands-on media practices and touchable art objects. This media-archaeological excavation examines... more
With the recent publication of the edited collection Brian Eno: Oblique Music (Albiez & Pattie, 2016) and the distribution of Brian Eno’s 26th solo studio album Reflection in 2017 on vinyl, CD and as an innovative software application,... more
This posting of an annotated bibliography on gesture user interfaces, on-line character recognition (a.k.a. dynamic character recognition, a.k.a. pen and touch computing), both hardware and software, has been a continuing... more
Background: Dementia can have significant detrimental impacts on the well-being of those with the disease and their carers. A range of computer-based interventions, including touchscreen-based interventions have been researched for use... more
Direct touch is the major interaction model of modern mobile touchscreen devices. Although it is praised for its intuitiveness and input speed, its suffers from three major problems, which are inaccessibility, inextensibility, and... more
In this paper, I introduce Sfard's discursive framework to examine secondary-school calculus students' communication during exploratory activities mediated by the use of touchscreen dynamic geometry environments (DGEs). Six pairs of... more
In this exploratory case study, we describe how teacher candidates with minimal mathematics knowledge of spherical geometry construct, discuss, manipulate and share the three-right angled triangle on a sphere using GeoGebra software. The... more
My article on the Nintendo DS 'Touching is Good' campaign, recently updated and reprinted in Figures of Touch: Sense, Technics, Body (The Academy of the Arts at the University of the Arts Helsinki, 2018). I deepen and extend this... more
Die Idee ist eine Pinwand zu programmieren, so wie wir sie traditionell kennen. Pinwand multiple touchscreen Gerät.
This paper presents Finger Based Technique (FBT) prototypes, a novel interaction system for blind users, which is especially designed and developed for non-visual touch screen devices and their applications. The FBT prototypes were... more
The article reports on the beginnings of a research project funded by the Australian Research Council entitled Toddlers and Tablets: exploring the risks and benefits 0-5s face online. This research project recognises that at this stage it... more
In this exploratory case study, we describe how teacher candidates with minimal mathematics knowledge of spherical geometry construct, discuss, manipulate and share the three-right angled triangle on a sphere using GeoGebra software. The... more
This paper analyses the variations in the identification power among set of four features, namely Signature Precision (SP), Finger Pressure (FP), Movement Time (MT), and Speed that were extracted from finger gesture of touch-screens. The... more
Developments in information and communication technologies have been greatly influential on the practices in all fields, and education is not an exception to this. To illustrate with, computers were first used in computer – assisted... more
This paper is about an investigation into the usability of touch-based user interfaces. Currently, not enough knowledge is available to guide user interface designers and developers concerning the appropriate use of touch-based... more
With the ongoing debate on young children’s Information Communication Technology (ICT) use in early childhood education (ECE), empirical studies have reported that the increase in young children’s access to and use of touchscreen tablets,... more
The advent of system-wide accessibility services on mainstream touch-based smartphones has been a major point of inclusion for blind and visually impaired people. Ever since, researchers aimed to improve the accessibility of specific... more
Abstract: In this presentation, I will describe how the use of touchscreen-based technology can enable young children's sensory engagement in learning mathematics through introducing a novel iPad application called TouchCounts.... more
Introduction Children are beginning to use digital technologies at younger and younger ages. The emerging trend of very young children (babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers) using Internet connected devices, especially touch screen tablets... more
In this paper, I introduce Sfard’s discursive framework to examine secondary-school calculus students’ communication during exploratory activities mediated by the use of touchscreen dynamic geometry environments (DGEs). Six pairs of... more
Adding expressive haptic feedback to mobile devices has great potential to improve their usability, particularly in multitasking situations where one’s visual attention is required. Piezoelectric actuators are emerging as one suitable... more
The understanding and control of human skin contact against technological substrates is the key aspect behind the design of several electromechanical devices. Among these, surface haptic displays that modulate the friction between the... more
Figure 1. GazeForm concept. Left: when eye-hand coordination exists for touch modality the surface is flat. Right: when the gaze is solicited by another task the surface offers a salient tangible control allowing continuity of... more
What is the relationship between the ‘haptic’ and the ‘tactile’ when it comes to media? We might question whether there is such a thing as ‘haptic media’; in other words, is there a type of media that invite the attention of one modality... more
