ABSTRACT
We propose a one-handed interaction technique using cursor based on touch pressure to enable users to perform various single-touch gestures such as a tap, swipe, drag, and double-tap on unreachable targets. In the proposed technique, cursor mode is started by swiping from the bezel. Touch-down and touch-up events occur at the cursor position when users increase and decrease touch pressure, respectively. Since touch-down and touch-up event triggers are different but easily performed by just adjusting the touch pressure of the thumb from low to high or vice versa, the user can perform single-touch gestures at the cursor position with the thumb. To investigate the performance of the proposed technique, we conducted a pilot study; the results showed that the proposed technique is promising for one-handed interaction technique.

Simulating an extendable tangible slider for eyes-free one-handed interaction on mobile devices
AVI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 International Conference on Advanced Visual InterfacesSliders are widely used on mobile devices. Envisioning mobile devices that can dynamically deform to raise tangible controls from the screen surface, tangible sliders offer the benefit of eyes-free interaction. However, reaching for distant values with ...
Expanding touch input vocabulary by using consecutive distant taps
CHI '14: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn recent years, touch screens have emerged and matured as the main input interface for mobile and tablet computers calling for extended touch input possibilities. In this paper, we explore the use of consecutive distant taps to expand the touch screen ...
A study of direction's impact on single-handed thumb interaction with touch-screen mobile phones
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis study is aimed to investigate how the performance of thumb interaction with touch-screen mobile devices via double tap and swipe varies with movement directions of the thumb. A target selection game was used in an empirical study to evaluate users' ...
