Gestures as a "creation" mechanism for tabletop interfaces
Pages 357 - 360
Abstract
Gestures are usually used as a means of communication between a user and an interactive system. In this paper, we extend command gestures to "creation" gestures. The user can perform a simple analogical gesture to add graphical components (windows, widgets, controls, ...) to the interface. The benefit of this technique is that the desired object is created at the exact location and dimensions the user wants to avoid disturbing any collaborating users on a tabletop interactive surface. We describe three variations of creation gestures and compare them in terms of performance and user satisfaction in a controlled laboratory experiment.
