“…The two-handed method outperformed the one-handed technique, which was most commonly used in 1986 when the experiment was conducted, and also is today. This early research supports the results of numerous other research projects [1][2][3]6,7,9,11,12,14,16,17,23,30,35], which all have come to the conclusion that bi-manual interaction, either using both hands or multiple fingers, is more efficient than using only one hand or a single-touch technique. What appears interesting, is the fact that poor design can make interaction with two hands worse than with one [16].…”

This paper describes the first steps of a research project directed towards human computer interaction (HCI) within the maritime environment and on maritime equipment. The focus is at this stage mainly on interaction with Dynamic Positioning Systems (DP) and how new interaction styles can be introduced to make the interaction more efficient and less faulty in both standard operations and in safety-critical situations. The initial experiment looks into how a DP operator can operate a DP system by using bi-manual interaction/multi-touch combined with hand-gestures to create a new type of user-experience. The aim for this research is to investigate which gestures feel natural to the DP operator and how/if they can be implemented into a real-life DP system.

“…During two-handed interaction, both hands have different roles that depend on each other with respect to three rules: the dominant hand (DH) moves within the frame of reference defined by the non-dominant hand (NDH); the sequence of motion generally sees the NDH setting the reference frame prior to actions with the DH being made within that context; and that the DH works at a higher level of precision than the NDH in both spatial and temporal terms. Follow-up research has extensively investigated different facets of these hypotheses, such as the importance of visual and kinesthetic feedback for bimanual tasks [1,3] and differences between symmetric [24,31] and asymmetric [10,11,18] bimanual input.…”

Many research projects have demonstrated the benefits of bimanual interaction for a variety of tasks. When choosing bimanual input, system designers must select the input device that each hand will control. In this paper, we argue for the use of pen and touch two-handed input, and describe an experiment in which users were faster and committed fewer errors using pen and touch input in comparison to using either touch and touch or pen and pen input while performing a representative bimanual task. We present design principles and an application in which we applied our design rationale toward the creation of a learnable set of bimanual, pen and touch input commands.

“…Other instruments behave as active values, and can be used to communicate between Whizz constructions and other pieces of software: they are variables, that can be modified in a program, as well as instruments, that emit their new values when modified. Flows from different sources can also be combined, for instance when using several input devices at a time: Whizz has been successfully used to implement two-handed input (Chatty, 1994).…”

This paper presents Whizz'Ed, an experimental tool for construction of highly interactive or animated applications. Whizz'Ed makes it possible to visually describe by direct manipulation the behaviour of graphical objects and their interrelations. It provides elementary bricks that encapsulate basic interactive behaviours. Whizz'Ed aims at allowing designers to build visual programs in which the control structure is described using data-flows. The flow graph can be structured in order to reuse complex behaviours, thus allowing the designer to create new reusable bricks at design time. Whizz'Ed provide designers with a visual environment that can be used for building user interfaces as well as for database visualization.
