Abstract

Bimanual interactions using pen and touch are natural to humans and have proven and explored in previous research. However, most of the previous work has been limited to using cartesian coordinates of fingers and pen tip. In this work, we go further by exploring additional pen data, like pressure and tilt, combined with multi-touch inputs. We apply this combination to two data visualizations: Bubble Chart and Linear Regression combined with a Radar. We have performed a preliminary user study comparing Pen and Touch interactions with Mouse input. We have found the Pen and Touch interactions can consume less time while looking for specific values in the Bubble Chart, whereas Mouse can be faster while looking for specific relation in Linear Regression and Radar.

Thumb + Pen Interaction on Tablets
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Modern tablets support simultaneous pen and touch input, but it remains unclear how to best leverage this capability for bimanual input when the nonpreferred hand holds the tablet. We explore Thumb + Pen interactions that support simultaneous pen and ...
Pen + touch = new tools
UIST '10: Proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology

We describe techniques for direct pen+touch input. We observe people's manual behaviors with physical paper and notebooks. These serve as the foundation for a prototype Microsoft Surface application, centered on note-taking and scrapbooking of ...
Partially-indirect Bimanual Input with Gaze, Pen, and Touch for Pan, Zoom, and Ink Interaction
CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Bimanual pen and touch UIs are mainly based on the direct manipulation paradigm. Alternatively we propose partially-indirect bimanual input, where direct pen input is used with the dominant hand, and indirect-touch input with the non-dominant hand. As ...
