ABSTRACT
We present SurfaceMouse, a virtual mouse for multi-touch surface computing. Although moving away from the direct touch manipulation paradigm, our system brings many sig-nificant benefits seen in absolute clutched devices to sur-face computing. Features include high and variable control device gains, several degrees of freedom in a single hand gesture, ability to target small GUI items, and a familiar method for reaching far areas of large displays. Importantly, this benefit is realized by leveraging what users already know and have tremendous experience with - physical mice. Results from our proof-of-concept evaluation reflect this; users were able to use and recognize our system with-out training or prompts. Being entirely virtual, Surface-Mouse can be implemented in existing systems with little more than a software update.

Development strategies for tangible interaction on horizontal surfaces
TEI '10: Proceedings of the fourth international conference on Tangible, embedded, and embodied interactionTangible interactions on horizontal surfaces are increasingly relevant for collaborative applications, embodied interaction, musical performance, and interaction with 3D information. This unique studio opportunity introduces approaches to developing ...
Gaze and Touch Interaction on Tablets
UIST '16: Proceedings of the 29th Annual Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyWe explore how gaze can support touch interaction on tablets. When holding the device, the free thumb is normally limited in reach, but can provide an opportunity for indirect touch input. Here we propose gaze and touch input, where touches redirect to ...
ActiWare: activity-aware scrollbar of dynamic interactions in social for display platforms
HCI '18: Proceedings of the 32nd International BCS Human Computer Interaction ConferenceWe introduce activity-aware scrolling (ActiWare Scrolling), an approach that displays live activity on dynamic pages as they happen. ActiWare Scrolling makes use of the intrinsic display feature of the native scrollbar to indicate user interactions ...
