| Abstract | The aim of this project was to evaluate whether hierarchical gestures are a usable interaction technique. Hierarchical gestures are a technique to construct a gesture set for touchscreen devices that I propose in this report. The gestures of the vocabulary are constructed by chaining primitives, for instance Call and Frieder, to the command Call Frieder. These primitives are assigned with gestures. A command is invoked by a concatenation of the gestures that are assigned to the primitives that form the command. I expected hierarchical gestures to be a usable technique to control a smartphone. The vocabulary is motivated by the benefits that are gained from its structure, which are better learnability and higher expressivity. Furthermore, using hierarchical gestures is expected to be more efficient and to be more satisfying than using the standard interface of the smartphone. Besides, gesture-based interfaces are suitable for mobile interaction because they allow for one-handed use and require low visual attention. |
