In Tandem
Petru-Vasile Cioată, Radu-Daniel Vatavu · 2018
We introduce, explore, and prototype in this work new interactive opportunities for dual input and output on two smartwatches that users wear on both hands and operate simultaneously. To this end, we present practical implementations of wearable applications designed for two smartwatches working "in tandem" that demonstrate new ways to perform generic input and output tasks, such as item selection from a list, text entry on a tiny soft keyboard, and generic content manipulation on small screens. We hope that this work will draw the community's attention towards the richness of interactions that become possible by utilizing not one, but two smartwatches in tandem and, consequently, will inspire new and rich interface designs for the computers that we wear on our wrists.
