Accessibility study for augmented keyboard for input interaction techniques
Elio Keddisseh, Marcos Serrano, Nicolas Issa Sayegh, Emmanuel Dubois · 2019
We present SmartCom, a combination of a smartphone and the traditional physical keyboard to enhance command selection by 1) eliminating occlusion, 2) reducing command discoverability time and 3) reducing homing cost. We performed a reachability study to evaluate the feasibility of gestures combining key press and phone touch. The results are promising and none of our participants found SmartCom usage difficult. In the future, we plan to design and evaluate novel interaction techniques for SmartCom.
