KeyTilt: un clavier logiciel par inclinaison

Published: 20 September 2010 Publication History

Abstract

This paper describes KeyTilt a complete soft keyboard usable with one hand on mobile devices. It combines a selection with a finger and an explicit disambiguation through the use of tilt in pronation / supination. A first experiment shows that this solution is usable and provides good performance but far below the performance of an AZERTY soft keyboard operated with a stylus. Users have only used their non dominant hand and expressed good satisfaction.
