“…Also, the original work was not intended for mobile devices while the scope of this work was to enable mobile interaction (e.g., launch applications) when walking on the street. Oakley and O'Modhrain (2005) developed a motion based vibrotactile interface for mobile devices. The authors use 3-axial acceleration sensing to directly control list positions, instead of using this sensor to control the rate of scrolling or directional movement.…”

While mobile devices have experienced important accessibility advances in the past years, people with visual impairments still face important barriers, especially in specific contexts when both their hands are not free to hold the mobile device, like when walking outside. By resorting to a multimodal combination of body based gestures and voice, we aim to achieve full hands and vision free interaction with mobile devices. In this article, we describe this vision and present the design of a prototype, inspired by that vision, of a text messaging application. The article also presents a user study where the suitability of the proposed approach was assessed, and a performance comparison between our prototype and existing SMS applications was conducted. Study participants received positively the prototype, which also supported better performance in tasks that involved text editing.

“…Adding auditory feedback can indeed reduce the necessity of having to view a task constantly [3] and has been shown to be comparable in accuracy to visual feedback [51]. Another important modality could be the haptic modality, as fewer stimuli present in the physical world can interfere with this type of feedback [36,40]. In our research, we therefore focused on incorporating both auditory and haptic feedbacks in our design.…”

“…Interactions were performed using two different gestural mapping styles based on [41] (rotating the wrist around its axis and tilting the wrist with the hand palm facing sideways). Moreover, two different feedback types were provided based on [36] (transition, a haptic and audio signal indicating changes between brightness levels, and deceleration, offering a smaller gap between haptic and audio signals in the lowest brightness levels, see Fig. 2).…”

Most interactions with today's interfaces require a person's full and focused attention. To alleviate the potential clutter of focal information, we investigated how interactions could be designed to take place in the background or periphery of attention. This paper explores whether gestural, multimodal interaction styles of an interactive light system allow for this. A study compared the performance of interactions with the light system in two conditions: the central condition in which participants interacted only with the light system, and the peripheral condition in which they interacted with the system while performing a high-attentional task simultaneously. Our study furthermore compared different feedback styles (visual, auditory, haptic, and a combination). Results indicated that especially for the combination feedback style, the interaction could take place without participants' full visual attention, and performance did not significantly decrease in the peripheral condition. This seems to indicate that these interactions at least partly took place in their periphery of attention and that the multimodal feedback style aided this process.

“…Finally, research has also explored the use of alternative input modalities, such as device orientation, for handheld interaction (e.g., Oakley and O'Modhrain 2005;Rekimoto 1996). These approaches are beyond the scope of our current investigation, but provide additional avenues for future research.…”

Exploring Methods to Improve Pen-Based Menu Selection for Younger and Older Adults

Tablet PCs are gaining popularity, but many individuals still struggle with pen-based interaction. In a previous baseline study, we examined the types of difficulties younger and older adults encounter when using pen-based input. The research reported in this paper seeks to address one of these errors, namely, missing just below. This error occurs in a menu selection task when a user's selection pattern is downwardly shifted, such that the top edge of the menu item below the target is selected relatively often, while the corresponding top edge of the target itself is seldom selected. We developed two approaches for addressing missing just below errors: reassigning selections along the top edge and deactivating them. In a laboratory evaluation, only the deactivated edge approach showed promise overall. Further analysis of our data revealed that individual differences played a large role in our results and identified a new source of selection difficulty. Specifically, we observed two error-prone groups of users: the Low Hitters, who, like participants in the baseline study, made missing just below errors, and the High Hitters, who, in contrast, had difficulty with errors on the item above. All but one of the older participants fell into one of these error-prone group, reinforcing that older users do need better support for selecting menu items with a pen. Preliminary analysis of the performance data suggests both of our approaches were beneficial for the Low Hitters, but that additional techniques are needed to meet the needs of the High Hitters and to address the challenge of supporting both groups in a single interface.
