ABSTRACT
We describe a new circular touch gesture for scrolling called ChiralMotionTM and report on work to measure its performance. In a study using a document scrolling task, ChiralMotion outperformed linear Virtual Scrolling on a notebook computer TouchPad. Participants also indicated a preference for ChiralMotion in a follow-up questionnaire. We discuss the results and our plans for follow-up studies incorporating other devices.

Scroll ring performance evaluation
CHI EA '03: CHI '03 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis study compares a touchpad scroll ring to a mouse scroll wheel and touchpad scroll zone using a Fitts' Law testing methodology. Time, error, and subjective results reveal that the scroll ring offers the most performance advantages over the scroll ...
A study of two-handed scrolling and selection on standard notebook computers
BCS '10: Proceedings of the 24th BCS Interaction Specialist Group ConferenceAlthough two-handed input can improve both efficiency and quality of user interaction, it is not commonly adopted as it requires additional input devices. In this paper we propose two-handed interaction on standard hardware - notebooks with external ...
Dual stream input for pointing and scrolling
CHI EA '97: CHI '97 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsTo find ways to improve users' performance of tasks that involve both scrolling and pointing, we studied three dual-stream input methods, with one stream for pointing and one for scrolling. The results showed that a mouse augmented with a tracking wheel ...
