Abstract

The task of list selection is fundamental to many user interfaces, and the traditional scrollbar is a control that does not utilise the rich input features of many mobile devices. We describe the design and evaluation of zoofing---a list selection interface for touch/pen devices that combines pressure-based zooming and flick-based scrolling. While previous flick-based interfaces have performed similarly to traditional scrolling for short distances, and worse for long ones, zoofing outperforms (and is preferred to) traditional scrolling, flick-based scrolling, and OrthoZoom. We analyse experimental logs to understand how pressure was used and discuss directions for further work.

Flick-and-brake: finger control over inertial/sustained scroll motion
CHI EA '11: CHI '11 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

We present two variants of Flick-and-Brake, a technique that allows users to not only trigger motion by touch-screen flicking but also to subsequently modulate scrolling speed by varying pressure of a stationary finger. These techniques, which further ...

Zooming user interfaces are increasingly popular on mobile devices with touch screens. Swiping and pinching finger gestures anywhere on the screen manipulate the displayed portion of a page, and taps open objects within the page. This makes navigation ...
ActiWare: activity-aware scrollbar of dynamic interactions in social for display platforms
