TapBoard: making a touch screen keyboard more touchable
Pages 2833 - 2834
Abstract
We propose the TapBoard, a touch screen software keyboard that regards tapping actions as keystrokes, and other touches as touched states. In a series of user studies, we could validate the effectiveness of the TapBoard concept. First, we could show that tapping to type is in fact compatible with the existing typing skill of most touch screen keyboard users. Second, users could soon adapt to the TapBoard and learn to rest their fingers in a touched state. Finally, we confirm by a controlled experiment that there is no difference in the text entry performance between the TapBoard and a traditional touch screen software keyboard. In addition to these experimental results, we demonstrate a few new interaction techniques that will be made possible by the TapBoard.

TapBoard 2: Simple and Effective Touchpad-like Interaction on a Multi-Touch Surface Keyboard
CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe introduce TapBoard 2, a touchpad-based keyboard that solves the problem of typing and pointing disambiguation. The pointing interaction design of TapBoard 2 is nearly identical to natural touchpad interaction, and its shared workspace naturally ...
TapBoard: making a touch screen keyboard more touchable
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsA physical keyboard key has three states, whereas a touch screen usually has only two. Due to this difference, the state corresponding to the touched state of a physical key is missing in a touch screen keyboard. This touched state is an important ...
