Symmetric Interaction in the User Interface

Authors

Celine Latulipe

Abstract:

Symmetric two-handed interaction has been largely unexplored by the user interface community. My research is aimed at investigating this type of interaction, where the two hands work together at similar levels of spatial and temporal detail. This paper briefly describes symPut, a symmetric input system that has been designed to support symmetric interaction applications, and symDraw, a 2D drawing application that uses symPut and acts as a testbed for investigating new symmetric interaction techniques. I conclude with a brief summary of my overall research plan.
