“…G. Ramos et al [7] investigated human ability to use stylus pressure to perform discrete target acquisition tasks and found that dividing pressure space into 6 levels was optimal. X. Bi et al [8] investigated incidental pen rolling made by users when performing regular drawing and writing tasks, as well as users' ability to control intentional rolling and presented an exploration of the design space of rolling-based interaction techniques. F. Tian et al [9] utilized pen tilt for interaction: matching cursor shape to tilt angles could improve performance by enhancing stimulus-response compatibility.…”

-Current studies on tablets and digital pens mainly focus on the modalities of input in the field of HCI (human computer interaction). However, the effect of the changes of environmental parameters on pen-based input operation, such as tilt angle of tablet, has rarely been studied. This paper mainly investigates 1) how pen-based input operation is affected while changing tilt angle of tablet 2) at which tilt angle of tablet, can user do pen-based input operation with comfort, quickness, and accuracy. The conclusions can be got based on the results from the experiments and questionnaire. In order to compare penbased input operation among different tilt angle of tablet (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 degrees), two experiments of 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional pointing tasks based on Fitts' law were conducted. Results show that when tilt angle of tablet is 30 degrees, it is most suitable for user to do pen-based input operation.Index Terms -HCI, tilt angle of tablet, pen-based input operation, Fitts' law.

“…Another line of research for pen control is to utilize other pen parameters such as rolling [4], tilting [25], pressure [19], and combined rolling and motion [23] that can be used for changing modes or providing further single handed input mechanisms. Pen rolling [4] at a resolution of 10 degrees around its longitudinal axis can be used to control a mode change and multi-parameter input.…”

“…Previous studies suggest using other dimensions of a digital pen such as rolling [4] or tilting [25] as alternative explicit controls [4,23,25] required by digital interfaces. Additionally, researchers have demonstrated that grip can be leveraged as an implicit dimension that conveys some user intention (or state) as users interact with a device [14,24,29].…”

This paper explores the interaction possibilities enabled when the barrel of a digital pen is augmented with a multitouch sensor. We present a novel multi-touch pen (MTPen) prototype and discuss its alternate uses beyond those of a standard stylus, such as allowing new touch gestures to be performed using the index finger or thumb and detecting how users grip the device as a mechanism for mode switching. We also discuss the hardware and software implementation challenges in realizing our prototype, and showcase how one can combine different grips (tripod, relaxed tripod, sketch, wrap) and gestures (swipe and double tap) to enable new interaction techniques with the MTPen in a prototype drawing application. One specific aim is the elimination of some of the comfort problems associated with existing auxiliary controls on digital pens. Mechanical controls such as barrel buttons and barrel scroll wheels work best in only a few specific hand grips and pen rotations. Comparatively, our gestures can be successfully and comfortably performed regardless of the rotation of the pen or how the user grips it, offering greater flexibility in use. We describe a formal evaluation comparing MTPen gestures against the use of a barrel button for mode switching. This study shows that both swipe and double tap gestures are comparable in performance to commonly employed barrel buttons without its disadvantages.

“…Oshita [13] designed a virtual human figure movement manipulation system that used not only pen pressure but also pen tilt to control a virtual human figure. Bi et al [14] explored pen rolling around the longitudinal axis of the pen and determined the intentional and incidental pen rolling while users manipulating a pen.…”

SUMMARYAdjustment of a certain parameter in the course of performing a trajectory task such as drawing or gesturing is a common manipulation in pen-based interaction. Since pen tip information is confined to x-y coordinate data, such concurrent parameter adjustment is not easily accomplished in devices using only a pen tip. This paper comparatively investigates the performance of inherent pen input modalities (Pressure, Tilt, Azimuth, and Rolling) and Key Pressing with the non-preferred hand used for precision parameter manipulation during pen sliding actions. We elaborate our experimental design framework here and conduct experimentation to evaluate the effect of the five techniques. Results show that Pressure enabled the fastest performance along with the lowest error rate, while Azimuth exhibited the worst performance. Tilt showed slightly faster performance and achieved a lower error rate than Rolling. However, Rolling achieved the most significant learning effect on Selection Time and was favored over Tilt in subjective evaluations. Our experimental results afford a general understanding of the performance of inherent pen input modalities in the course of a trajectory task in HCI (human computer interaction). key words: human computer interaction, pen input, inherent pen input modalities, multi-scale navigation, pen-based interfaces
