“…Quikwriting [43] divided letters into groups with base-9 encoding, allowing users to describe entire words or even sentences as a single continuous gesture to input text. Hyeonjoong [44] proposed a text entry technique for wrist-worn watches by determining input letters based on drag direction regardless of touched location. Twiddler [45] was a one-handed chording keyboard device that users could use in eyes-free situations, but users needed to press four buttons for every letter.…”

We present a text entry technique called HiFinger, which is an eyes-free, one-handed wearable text entry technique for immersive virtual environments by thumb-to-fingers touch. This technique enables users to input text quickly, accurately, and comfortably with the sense of touch and a two-step input mode. It is especially suitable for mobile scenarios where users need to move (such as walking) in virtual environments. Various input signals can be triggered by moving the thumb towards ultra-thin pressure sensors placed on other fingers. After acquiring the comfort range of the touch between the thumb and other fingers, six placement modes for text entry are designed and tested, resulting in an optimal placement mode that leverages six pressure sensors for the text entry and two for the control function. A three-day study is conducted to evaluate the proposed technique, and experimental results show that novices can achieve an average text entry efficiency of 9.82 words per minute (WPM) in virtual environments based on head-mounted displays after a training period of 25 min.

“…The results underline the importance of aesthetic qualities in the use and continuous engagement with wearable devices and also indicate a need for customizability so that users can adapt the devices to their own preferences and needs. Specifically for the case of smartwatches, most research work within HCI focuses on how people interact with them (Ashbrook et al, 2008;Cho et al, 2014;Gong et al, 2018, Huang et al, 2014Klamka et al, 2020;Oakley et al, 2015;Ogata andImai, 2015, Singh et al, 2018;Yeo et al, 2019;Wang and Grossman, 2020;Wong et al, 2020), their everyday usage (Pizza et al, 2006), and what motivates them to do so (Dehghani 2018). In relation to possible effects of smartwatch design qualities on preferences, we identified three relevant studies (Lyons 2015;Schirra and Bentley, 2015;Dehghani and Kim, 2019).…”

Several smartwatch vendors have over the past years entered the market with a large range of devices that differ in the design qualities they offer. In this paper, we focus on design qualities that are either perceived, descriptive or physical, and we investigate which of them may lead people to prefer particular smartwatches over others. To do so we conducted a laboratory study with 93 potential smartwatch users and a trained panel study with 8 participants. Results were analysed through a multivariate statistical technique called PreferenceMapping. The advantage of this technique is that it can relate a large number of design qualities to users' preferences. Our findings show that participants can be divided into four groups with homogenous preferences, each emphasizing a unique combination of design qualities. For example, some groups emphasized device shape, while others prioritized expensiveness for their preferred smartwatch. We conclude with implications of our work on practice and research.

“…Instead of the physical button recent studies have developed text input methods based on touchscreen interface Komninos and Dunlop, 2014;Cho et al, 2014). Oney et al (2013) proposed ZoomBoard based on a qwerty keyboard layout Table 1 Summary of major related researches.…”

“…The usability test to verify a 6 key layout was conducted under controlled experiments with 20 participants, and it showed an average 8.1 WPM. Cho et al (2014) proposed DragKeys whose keys are formed into 8 groups. Key groups are circularly arranged in 8 azimuths around the text cursor and appear when users enter texts.…”

“…Secondly, only a few studies have conducted usability tests for validating their own method Komninos and Dunlop (2014); Funk et al, 2014), and their performances were relatively slower than the text entry speed for the iPhone and Android phone: 15.8, and 21.4 WPM respectively (Ariff et al, 2010;Catellucci and MacKenzie, 2011). Thirdly, the recent methods by Oney et al (2013), Komninos and Dunlop (2014), Cho et al (2014), andFunk et al (2014) required multi-touches to select a target letter. Finally, the previous studies lack consideration of an optimal key size for an index or middle finger which is expected to be mainly used on smartwatches.…”
