Modus Operandi: The Implications from Redesigning Moded Experiments in Multitouch User Interfaces
Article No.: 7, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
Evaluation of moded interaction techniques is essential in determining the optimal strategy to switch between the modes of a user interface. Performance can be evaluated when each technique is used to complete a given set of changing mode sequences. However, there have been limited variations in the patterns adopted by past studies, because all of their mode sequences were consistently presented in chunks of only 5 tasks at a time. Our study addresses the identified gap by expanding the chunk size by at least 10 times and diversifying the independent variables (i.e. patterns). Although we found that Persist outperforms User-Maintained Interaction technique overall, patterns with a clear presence of dominating mode are ideal for the latter (and supported locking feature) to thrive. Our findings show how an experimental modification can augment the existing understanding of moded interaction.
