Proton: Multitouch Gestures as Regular Expressions Kenrick Kin, Bjoern Hartmann, Tony DeRose, Maneesh Agrawala January 2012 Current multitouch frameworks require application developers to write recognition code for custom gestures; this code is split across multiple event-handling callbacks. As the number of custom gestures grows it becomes increasingly difficult to 1) know if new gestures will conflict with existing gestures, and 2) know how to extend existing ...

Eden: A Professional Multitouch Tool for Constructing Virtual Organic Environments Kenrick Kin, Tom Miller, Bjoern Bollensdorff, Tony DeRose, Bjoern Hartmann, Maneesh Agrawala January 2011 Set construction is the process of selecting and positioning virtual geometric objects to create a virtual environment used in a computer-animated film. Set construction artists often have a clear mental image of the set composition, but find it tedious to build their intended sets with current mouse and keyboard interfaces. We investigate whether multitouch input can ... [more] To appear in the proceedings of SIGCHI 2011 Available as Pixar Technical Memo #11-04 | |
Determining the Benefits of Direct-Touch, Bimanual, and Multifinger Input on a Multitouch Workstation Kenrick Kin, Maneesh Agrawala, Tony DeRose May 2009 Multitouch workstations support direct-touch, bimanual, and multifinger interaction. Previous studies have separately examined the benefits of these three interaction attributes over mouse-based interactions. In contrast, we present an empirical user study that considers these three interaction attributes together for a single task, such that we can quantify and compare the performances of each attribute. In our ... [more] To appear in Graphics Interface 2009 |
