Abstract

Caret movement is difficult with touch input because of finger occlusion and the imprecision of interacting with a small display using fingers. We hypothesize that bend might provide a better text manipulation solution. We propose bend gestures to move a single caret or dual carets without requiring hand repositioning. We create a deformable prototype and implement the gestures. We present our bend interactions for caret manipulation and discuss our prototype.

Bending the rules: bend gesture classification for flexible displays
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Bend gestures have a large number of degrees of freedom and therefore offer a rich interaction language. We propose a classification scheme for bend gestures, and explore how users perform these bend gestures along four classification criterion: ...
Evaluating reading and analysis tasks on mobile devices: a case study of tilt and flick scrolling
OZCHI '09: Proceedings of the 21st Annual Conference of the Australian Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group: Design: Open 24/7

Flick scrolling is a natural scrolling method for mobile touch devices such as the iPhone™. It is useful not only for its performance but perhaps even more so for its ease of use and user experience. Tilt scrolling instead uses the device's tilt to ...
Fix and slide: caret navigation with movable background
MobileHCI '16: Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services

We present a concept of using a movable background to navigate a caret on small mobile devices. The standard approach to selecting text on mobile devices is to directly touch the location on the text that a user wants to select. This is problematic ...
