ABSTRACT
In this study, we propose interaction techniques that use the forearm on tabletop displays positively. We define the forearm as the part of the arm between the elbow and the hand. On direct input surfaces, users' forearms often create problems such as incorrect recognition and occlusions. Therefore, the forearm is often considered problematic. Conversely, we think it could be possible to use it to create new interaction techniques. We propose new interaction on tabletop displays that use the forearm. In this paper, we describe how users can manipulate menu and data storages by these techniques. Our study offers new possibilities for using the problematic forearm in tabletop displays.

SUI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 Symposium on Spatial User InteractionTabletop systems are used primarily in meetings or other activities wherein information is shared. However, when confidential input is needed, for example when entering a password, privacy becomes an issue. In this study, we use the shadowed area nearby ...
Forearm menu: using forearm as menu widget on tabletop system
ITS '13: Proceedings of the 2013 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfacesIn this study, we propose a menu interaction technique that utilizes the forearm (the part of the arm between the elbow and the hand) on direct input surfaces such as tabletop systems. On such systems, users commonly operate various types of data, such ...
Comparing Tangible and Multi-touch Interaction for Interactive Data Visualization Tasks
TEI '16: Proceedings of the TEI '16: Tenth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionInteractive visualization plays a key role in the analysis of large datasets. It can help users to explore data, investigate hypotheses and find patterns. The easier and more tangible the interaction, the more likely it is to enhance understanding. This ...
