Microinteractions beside ongoing manual tasks
Katrin Wolf · 2010
This paper explores how microinteractions as finger gestures allow executing a secondary task without interrupting the manual primary tasks such as driving a car or using a smart stylus. An analyses of Bock's Grip Taxonomy helps to identify manual primary tasks that have a huge benefit of not being interrupted by secondary tasks to control mobile applications and devices. This vision could offer the possibility to use the mobile phone safely while holding a steering wheel of the car as well as augment the functionality of a smart stylus such as change the stroke width without stopping to write or to draw.
