Accessibility study for augmented keyboard for input interaction techniques
Article No.: 6, Pages 1 - 8
Abstract
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.

Recommendations
Towards a Unified and Efficient Command Selection Mechanism for Touch-Based Devices Using Soft Keyboard Hotkeys
We advocate for the usage of hotkeys on touch-based devices by capitalising on soft keyboards through four studies. First, we evaluated visual designs and recommended icons with command names for novices while letters with command names for experts. ...
Flickey: Flick-Based QWERTY Software Keyboard for Ultra-small Touch Screen Devices
Human-Computer Interaction. Interaction TechnologiesAbstractUltra-small touch screen devices (e.g., smartwatches) are required to be small and lightweight so that they can be worn on the body with no frustration. For this reason, users often have difficulties in selecting the correct keys, and thus ...
A three-step interaction pattern for improving discoverability in finger identification techniques
UIST '14 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 27th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyIdentifying which fingers are in contact with a multi-touch surface provides a very large input space that can be leveraged for command selection. However, the numerous possibilities enabled by such vast space come at the cost of discoverability. To ...
