Using Different Gestural-Input Methods for Personal and Public Touchscreen Devices

摘要

User interfaces for personal communication devices or public devices are a flourishing research area. This article begins with a brief history of the current user interfaces of personal communication devices and public devices. Key factors in introducing different types of interfaces for different types of devices are presented, including their experiment methodology. Important factors to consider are identified and elaborated, such as focus of attention, text-related symbols versus simple linear symbols, novice versus expert performance, stressful versus stressless process, and the speed accuracy trade-off.
