In addition, with touch screens, selection precision is limited by undesired extra finger tracking during finger press and lift movements.\r\n\r\nWe propose TouchOver, a multi-modal input technique for touch-screen accelerometers-enabled handheld devices where positioning is performed with a finger on the touch surface, while selection is triggered by a gentle \"tilt forward\" of the device. By doing so, TouchOver adds a mouseover-like state and improves selection precision while remaining compatible with existing interaction techniques such as Shift devised to improve precision. Our formal user study shows a significant precision improvement over two other selection techniques as well as a good tradeoff between speed and accuracy.\r\n", "authors": { "1": { "first_name": "Adriano", "last_name": "Scoditti" }, "2": { "first_name": "Thomas", "last_name": "Vincent" }, "3": { "first_name": "Joëlle", "last_name": "Coutaz" }, "4": { "first_name": "Renaud", "last_name": "Blanch" }, "5": { "first_name": "Nadine", "last_name": "Mandran" } }, "year": 2011, "uri": "http://iihm.imag.fr/publication/SVC+11a/", "pages": "37-40", "bibtype": "inproceedings", "id": 574, "abbr": "SVC+11a", "address": "Nice, France", "date": "2011-10-25", "document": "http://iihm.imag.fr/publs/2011/touchover_ihm2011.pdf", "type": "Conférences nationales avec comité de lecture sur texte complet", "booktitle": "Actes de la 23ème conférence francophone sur l'Interaction Homme-Machine (IHM 2011)" }]);
