ABSTRACT
We present an evaluation of three mouse-based techniques for aligning digital images. We investigate the physical image alignment task and discuss the implications for interacting with virtual images. In a formal evaluation we show that a symmetric bimanual technique outperforms an asymmetric bimanual technique which in turn outperforms a unimanual technique. We show that even after mode switching times are removed, the symmetric technique outperforms the single mouse technique. Subjects also exhibited more parallel interaction using the symmetric technique than when using the asymmetric technique.

Symmetric bimanual interaction
CHI '00: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present experimental work that explores the factors governing symmetric bimanual interaction in a two-handed task that requires the user to track a pair of targets, one target with each hand. A symmetric bimanual task is a two-handed task in which ...
symSpline: symmetric two-handed spline manipulation
CHI '06: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe introduce symSpline: a symmetric, dual-mouse technique for the manipulation of spline curves. In symSpline, two cursors control the positions of the ends of the tangent to an edit point. By moving the tangent with both mice, the tangent and the edit ...
Combining and measuring the benefits of bimanual pen and direct-touch interaction on horizontal interfaces
AVI '08: Proceedings of the working conference on Advanced visual interfacesMany 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 ...
