On Gesture Combination - An Exploration of a Solution to Augment Gesture Interaction

Explore an innovative approach to augment gesture interaction through gesture combination in this 25-minute conference talk from the 2019 ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces. Delve into the challenges of current one-to-one gesture-command mapping and discover a proposed solution to improve memorability and usability. Learn about the design space characterizing temporal and spatial combination aspects, and gesture types used in combinations. Examine findings from three user studies in the context of smart TV interaction, revealing insights on end-user gesture set creation, improved memorability through gesture combination, and user preferences for combined gestures. Gain valuable knowledge on abstract gesture-command mapping and its impact on gesture combination preferences. Follow the presentation structure from introduction to research questions, design space, pilot studies, user workshops, and concluding with a general discussion and examples.
