Touchscreen of mobile phone is an important input channel, whereas most desktop computers have no such a modality. Furthermore, we observe a common situation where ubiquitous mobile phones are placed aside while users operate computers. In this poster, we present Mobile Assistant (MA), which allows a touch mobile phone manipulated by the non-dominant hand to assist desktop interaction without introducing extra devices. To demonstrate this interaction concept, two tasks are investigated: Symbol Input and Button Access. The user study shows that MA can significantly improve the input efficiency for users to complete GUI tasks.
