Abstract
This study aims to investigate experience of users who use new gesture control features of smart phones and tablets for the first time. To achieve this goal, two laboratory-controlled experiments were conducted. The first experiment focused on new finger gesture features (i.e., pinch), and the second experiment focused on new hand gesture features (i.e., turn over to mute, tap to top, direct call, palm swipe to capture, and palm touch to mute). A total of 19 younger adults and older adults participated in two experiments. They used both new gesture control features and traditional features (e.g., touch) to complete tasks. Their errors and subjective feedback were recorded. Results revealed the relative advantages and disadvantages of new gesture control features over traditional features. Based on the results, design suggestions were provided.
