A Natural Remote Target Selection Technique on Large Displays
Kibum Kim, Yang Gao, Xiangshi Ren · International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction · 2014
In order to simplify the selection of remote targets on large displays, a novel technique called ShifTable is presented in this paper, which is similar to natural selection motion. ShifTable starts with users pushing toward the desired target; the interface shifts against the push direction at a faster speed than the user’s hand; the user selects the target when it comes near; the interface goes back to the initial location, ending ShifTable. Besides, during the selection, ShifTable can be undone whenever user double-taps the interface. In the design of ShifTable, we took impact of gestures on musculoskeletal system into consideration and made the technique as simple as possible. In summary, ShifTable had obvious advantages over the existing techniques on large displays for its simplicity and naturalness.
