Comparing eye and gesture pointing to drag items on large screens

Published:06 October 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

Large screens are populating a variety of settings motivating research on appropriate interaction techniques. While gesture is popularized by depth cameras we contribute with a comparison study showing how eye pointing is a valuable substitute to gesture pointing in dragging tasks. We compare eye pointing combined with gesture selection to gesture pointing and selection. Results clearly show that eye pointing combined with a selection gesture allows more accurate and faster dragging.
