ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present Presstures, an extension to current multi-touch operations that enriches common multi-finger gestures with pressure information. By using the initially applied pressure level for implicit mode switching, a gesture can be enhanced with different functionalities to enlarge the interaction space for multi-touch. To evaluate the feasibility of our concept, we conducted an experiment, which indicates good human sensorimotor skills for performing multi-touch gestures with a few number of pressure levels and without any additional feedback. Based on the experimental results, we discuss implications for the design of pressure-sensitive multi-touch gestures, and propose application scenarios that make optimal use of our concept.

ForceRay: Extending Thumb Reach via Force Input Stabilizes Device Grip for Mobile Touch Input
CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSmartphones are used predominantly one-handed, using the thumb for input. Many smartphones, however, have grown beyond 5". Users cannot tap everywhere on these screens without destabilizing their grip. ForceRay (FR) lets users aim at an out-of-reach ...
ForceDrag: using pressure as a touch input modifier
OzCHI '12: Proceedings of the 24th Australian Computer-Human Interaction ConferenceIt is common to use modifier keys in a PC environment in order to change drag modes, but mobile devices with a touch screen do not provide this option. Thus, we present ForceDrag to address this issue, which is a touch drag operation where pressure is ...
