“…Few studies have focused on understanding which gestures are guessable [27] and easy to memorize [21]. In their "guessability" experiment, Wobbrock et al [27] observed that user-defined gestures are easier to memorize than pre-defined gestures.…”

Touchscreen interaction currently relies on a limited set of multitouch gestures and a wide range of graphical widgets that are often difficult to manipulate and consume much screen real-estate. Many tasks remain tedious to perform on touchscreens: selecting text over multiple views, manipulating different degrees of freedom of a graphical object, invoking a command and setting its parameter values in a row. We propose a design space of simple multitouch gestures that designers of user interfaces can systematically explore to propose more gestures to users. We further consider a set of 32 gestures for tablet-sized devices, by proposing an incremental recognition engine that works with current hardware technology, and empirically testing the usability of those gestures. In our experiment, individual gestures are recognized with an average accuracy of ∼90%, and users successfully achieve some of the transitions between gestures without the use of explicit delimiters. The goal of our contribution is to assist designers in optimizing the use of the rich multi-touch input channel for the activation of discrete and continuous controls, and enable fluid transitions between controls.

“…During so, we may argue that the methods used in these studies are more statistical analyses than a proper reverse engineering of the human behaviors. Other studies focuses on finding newer methods of interaction or new gestures like Nacenta et al work [22], or by the introduction of different sensors for the human manipulation [14].…”

International audienceThe goal of HCI researchers is to make interaction with computer interfaces simpler, efficient and more natural. In a context of object manipulation, we think that reaching this goal requires the ability to predict and recognize how humans grasp then manipulate objects. This is based on studies explaining human vision, reach, grasp taxonomies and manipulations. In this paper, we study the full cycle of gesture interaction using different points of view, then attempt to organize them using Norman's theory of Human Action, we link the psychology of object sensing to HCI goals and propose a simplification of gestures classes into four principal families. Our simplification of gestures classes still allow the expression of more detailed subclasses differentiated by the gesture properties

“…Although the general interface is designed to take advantage of the multi-touch paradigm, during the design of the application we decided that-for some functions-menus, buttons, and sliders are preferable to invocation gestures that are sometimes difficult to discover and remember [36]. The following subsections describe the functionality of TC that goes beyond the individual transmogrifiers, and how it interacts with the wider computing context.…”

A transmogrifier is a novel interface that enables quick, onthe-fly graphic transformations. A region of a graphic can be specified by a shape and transformed into a destination shape with real-time, visual feedback. Both origin and destination shapes can be circles, quadrilaterals or arbitrary shapes defined through touch. Transmogrifiers are flexible, fast and simple to create and invite use in casual InfoVis scenarios, opening the door to alternative ways of exploring and displaying existing visualizations (e.g., rectifying routes or rivers in maps), and enabling free-form prototyping of new visualizations (e
