“…Our objective is to investigate how magnet-related input gestures can be mapped to ingame actions and how this mapping afects performance and user experience when compared to those using conventional sensors, namely, touch and tilt. We hypothesize that the tangibility and afordance of the external circular magnet would improve both, as reported by existing research in controller mapping [6,20,29], and tangible interactions [2].…”

“…McEwan et al [20] compared three controllers of various mapping naturalness (directional, incomplete tangible, realistic tangible) and discovered that a more naturally mapped device could lead to a higher degree of control, and provide greater potential for intuitive use. Shorey and Girouard [29] created a controller with a bendable midsection and mapped its deformations as gestures for in-game actions and navigation. The authors reported that simple actions that were naturally mapped to gestures tend to be preferred amongst participants, and were performed signifcantly better than more complex and abstract actions.…”

“…When using a tangible object as control, designers should make sure that the in-game action refects the gestures supported by the object. As doing so would improve performance, efectiveness and appeal [20,21,[28][29][30].…”

“…Through the use of a ring-shaped wearable magnet 1 , we made the "controller" easily carried around like a small accessory (Figure 1). Similar to recent research that used games as a vehicle to attract participants and provide a more realistic scenario (see [11,19,29] for examples), our study used a game to make the tasks more appealing and closer to the premise of a magnetic controller. To facilitate our exploration, we considered casual gameplay [32], which typically requires a small input vocabulary (e.g.…”

The majority of mobile applications use built-in touchscreens and/or accelerometers to provide direct ways for user inputs. Yet, the need to manipulate the device itself (e.g. touch, tilt) poses usability issues such as occlusion and inaccuracy. To address these issues, research proposed using the built-in magnetometer and magnets to facilitate around-device interactions. However, there is little evaluation in how this technique impacts performance and user experience beyond simple docking tasks. To fll this gap, we explored the mobile gameplay context by implementing an interface that uses rotatory gestures from a magnetic ring as input, and compared two control mappings (angular and linear) with touch and tilt in a usability study using a mobile game. We found that rotatory gestures with the ring, when mapped to angular controls, were on par with touch and superior over tilt, and engendered greater gameplay experience and sense of mapping. Based on our fndings, we discuss implications of using this technique for gameplay, as well as other applications.

“…Since then, while most research focuses on mapping bending gestures to GUI controls (e.g. navigation [14], gaming control [16,20] or video exploration [22]), only a few focus on mapping bending to viewpoint deformation. For example, inspired by the cross-cut principle of PaperLens [22], FlexPad [23] implements curved cross-cuts on volumetric data.…”

Exploring 3D Objects with Non-Linear Perspectives in Real-Time, a First User Study

Non-linear perspectives have the potential to improve 3D scene perception by increasing the information bandwidth of 3D contents. As with the example of the Mercator projection of earth, they can reduce occlusions by showing more of the shape of an object than classical perspectives. However, an ill-advised construction of such "usually static" perspectives could make the original shape difficult to understand, drastically reducing the scene comprehension. Yet, despite of their potential, these perspectives are rarely used. In this paper we aim at making non-linear perspectives more widely usable on mobile devices. We propose to solve the understanding issue by allowing the user to control the transition between linear and non-linear perspectives in real-time with bending gestures. Using this approach, we present the first user study that investigates real-time manipulation of non-linear perspectives in an exploration task. Results show significant benefits of the approach, and give insights on the best bending gestures and configurations. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → User studies.

Flexible sensing styluses deliver additional degrees of input for penbased interaction, yet no research has looked into the integration with creative digital applications as well as the influence of flexural stiffness. We present Hy-perBrush, a modular flexible stylus with interchangeable flexible components for digital drawing applications. We compare our HyperBrush to rigid pressure styluses in three studies, for brushstroke manipulation, for menu selection and for creative digital drawing tasks. HyperBrush yields comparable results with a commercial pressure pen. We concluded that different flexibilities could pose their own unique advantages analogous to an artist's assortment of paintbrushes.
