ABSTRACT
We present a set of interaction techniques called "TouchFace" for casual videoconferencing among people in close relationships. It enables users to experience the sense of "touching" without the need for any special devices using interactions between cursors and live video images. After presenting the design guidelines underlying TouchFace, we describe a prototype following these guidelines. We conclude by presenting the results of a preliminary study.

Gaze and Touch Interaction on Tablets
UIST '16: Proceedings of the 29th Annual Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyWe explore how gaze can support touch interaction on tablets. When holding the device, the free thumb is normally limited in reach, but can provide an opportunity for indirect touch input. Here we propose gaze and touch input, where touches redirect to ...
One-Handed Interaction Technique for Single-Touch Gesture Input on Large Smartphones
SUI '19: Symposium on Spatial User InteractionWe propose a one-handed interaction technique using cursor based on touch pressure to enable users to perform various single-touch gestures such as a tap, swipe, drag, and double-tap on unreachable targets. In the proposed technique, cursor mode is ...
Tablets, tabletops, and smartphones: cross-platform comparisons of children’s touchscreen interactions
ICMI '17: Proceedings of the 19th ACM International Conference on Multimodal InteractionThe proliferation of smartphones and tablets has increased children’s access to and usage of touchscreen devices. Prior work on smartphones has shown that children’s touch interactions differ from adults’. However, larger screen devices like tablets ...
