| Popis: | Smartwatches have gained a lot of public interest as one of the most popular wearable devices in recent times, but their diminutive touch screens mar the user experiences. The small screen of watch suffers from visual occlusion and the fat finger problem. To address these issues, we present PressTact that extends interaction space beyond the watch surface to the sides of the device. It augments smartwatches with four pressure sensors - two sensors on the left side of a watch and another two on the right side. It enables users to input different levels of pressure that can be used for bi-directional navigation (zooming, scrolling, rotation) on smartwatches. In this paper, we explore the pressure event based input vocabulary set. Our preliminary user study shows that participants can input different pressure levels (light press, medium press, and strong press) in discrete and continuous mode with an acceptable accuracy. Finally, we develop several example applications to illustrate the potential of the proposed technique. |
