Abstract:

In order to address the problem of the selection of distant targets on large displays, many techniques have been proposed. However, these techniques tend to be complex and relatively difficult to operate. We presented a simple and easy technique. A formal experiment was conducted to compare the performance of shiftable with that of direct picking and one of the latest techniques, gesture select. Analysis of variance was used to evaluate this technique. Our results show that shiftable significantly outperforms gesture select and direct picking in selection time and it outperforms gesture select in error rate.

Key words: target selection, multitouch, large displays, remote target
