Title
Enhancing the expressiveness of fingers: multi-touch ring menus for everyday applications
Abstract
In the future, environments equipped with interaction surfaces sensitive to touch input will be a key factor to enable ambient intelligence. The user's fingers become input devices, allowing simple and intuitive interaction, like the manipulation of digital objects. However, people are used to everyday applications offering a wide variety of menu choices. We evaluate ring menus to enhance the expressiveness of finger interaction on multi-touch devices. Applicability and limits of ring menus are discussed with regard to our implementation by means of a preliminary user study.
