| Abstract | There has been an increasing need for alternate interaction techniques to support mobile usage context. Gaze tracking technology is anticipated to soon appear in commercial mobile devices. There are two important considerations when designing mobile gaze interactions. Firstly, the interaction should be robust to accuracy problems. Secondly, user feedback should be instantaneous, meaningful and appropriate to ease the interaction. This thesis proposes gaze gesture input with haptic feedback as an interaction technique in the mobile context. This work presents the results of an experiment that was conducted to understand the effectiveness of vibrotactile feedback in two stroke gaze gesture based mobile interaction and to find the best temporal point in terms of gesture progression to provide the feedback. Four feedback conditions were used, NO (no tactile feedback), OUT (tactile feedback at the end of first stroke), FULL (tactile feedback at the end of second stroke) and BOTH (tactile feedback at the end of first and second strokes). The results suggest that haptic feedback does help the interaction. The participants completed the tasks with fewer errors when haptic feedback was provided. The feedback conditions OUT and BOTH were found to be equally effective in terms of task completion time. The participants also subjectively rated these feedback conditions as being more comfortable and easier to use than FULL and NO feedback conditions. Acknowledgements Many people have contributed to the progress and completion of this work. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge their contribution. First and foremost I would like express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Jari Kangas, my supervisor, for his patient guidance from the start of this work till the end. Working on this thesis has been a significant academic challenge for me. I am convinced that without his constant support and encouragement, I could not have completed this thesis successfully. I would like to thank my professor, Prof. Poika Isokoski, who has influenced this work in multiple ways. A major portion of this thesis was done as part of an internship in the Haptic And Gaze Interaction (HAGI) project group at TAUCHI. Firstly, for offering me the summer internship opportunity to work in this group. Secondly, for all his comments and feedback that has helped improve this work immensely. Lastly and most importantly, for introducing me to the basics of gaze tracking and experimental research in various courses as part of my master's degree experience. I am … |
