As display environments become larger and more diversenow often encompassing multiple walls and room surfacesit is becoming more common that users must find and manipulate digital artifacts not directly in front of them. There is little understanding, however, about what techniques and devices are best for carrying out basic operations above, behind, or to the side of the user. We conducted an empirical study comparing two main techniques that are suitable for full-coverage display environments: mouse-based pointing, and ray-cast 'laser' pointing. Participants completed search and pointing tasks on the walls and ceiling, and we measured completion time, path lengths and perceived effort. Our study showed a strong interaction between performance and target location: when the target position was not known a priori the mouse was fastest for targets on the front wall, but ray-casting was faster for targets behind the user. Our findings provide new empirical evidence that can help designers choose pointing techniques for full-coverage spaces.

“…This is motivated partly to give additional or alternative modalities for complex interfaces, and partly because input through gaze or foot would have meaningful applications for certain types of disabilities. However, combining gaze and foot input appears to have been rare (Göbel et al, 2013;Klamka et al, 2015). Klamka et al (2015) also worked with zoom and pan.…”

ABSTRACT:Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are complex software environments and we often work with multiple tasks and multiple displays when we work with GIS. However, user input is still limited to mouse and keyboard in most workplace settings. In this project, we demonstrate how the use of gaze and feet as additional input modalities can overcome time-consuming and annoying mode switches between frequently performed tasks. In an iterative design process, we developed gaze-and foot-based methods for zooming and panning of map visualizations. We first collected appropriate gestures in a preliminary user study with a small group of experts, and designed two interaction concepts based on their input. After the implementation, we evaluated the two concepts comparatively in another user study to identify strengths and shortcomings in both. We found that continuous foot input combined with implicit gaze input is promising for supportive tasks.

“…Other examples of works that use pedals include controlling a 3D modelling application [Balakrishnan et al 1999], text entry , supporting gaze input [Göbel et al 2013] and toggling the mode of operation of a piano keyboard [Mohamed and Fels 2002]. Zhong et al implemented a pivoting pedal that rotates around the heel in addition to up and down [Zhong et al 2011].…”

“…Work in foot-based interaction emerged from different motivations: the feet provide an alternative to the hands for accessible input [Springer and Siebes 1996;Carrozza et al 2007], they can reach areas that are awkward to reach with the hands such as floors [Augsten et al 2010] and the bottom part of walls [Jota et al 2014], they provide a natural mapping to locomotion tasks [Drossis et al 2013;Hollerbach 2002], they provide additional input channels for assisting other modalities in complex tasks [Göbel et al 2013;Simeone et al 2014], etc.…”

Foot-operated computer interfaces have been studied since the inception of Human-Computer Interaction. Thanks to the miniaturisation and decreasing cost of sensing technology, there is an increasing interest exploring this alternative input modality, but no comprehensive overview of its research landscape. In this survey, we review the literature on interfaces operated by the lower limbs. We investigate the characteristics of users and how they affect the design of such interfaces. Next, we describe and analyse foot-based research prototypes and commercial systems in how they capture input and provide feedback. We then analyse the interactions between users and systems from the perspective of the actions performed in these interactions. Finally, we discuss our findings and use them to identify open questions and directions for future research.
