@inproceedings{full-touchable-phone, abstract = {Touchscreens are successful in recent smartphones due to a combination of input and output in a single interface. Despite their advantages, touch input still suffers from common limitations such as the fat-finger problem. To address these limitations, prior work proposed a variety of interaction techniques based on input sensors beyond the touchscreen. These were evaluated from a technical perspective. In contrast, we envision a smartphone that senses touch input on the whole device. Through interviews with experienced interaction designers, we elicited interaction methods to address touch input limitations from a different perspective. In this work, we focus on the interview results and present a smartphone prototype which senses touch input on the whole device. It has dimensions similar to regular phones and can be used to evaluate presented findings under realistic conditions in future work. }, author = { Huy Viet Le and Sven Mayer and Patrick Bader and Frank Bastian and Niels Henze}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI EA '17)}, date = {2017-01-01}, doi = {10.1145/3027063.3053196}, keywords = {capacitive sensing, intelligent mobile user interfaces, interaction technique, mobile device, sensing, touch}, pubstate = {published}, title = {Interaction Methods and Use Cases for a Full-Touch Sensing Smartphone}, tppubtype = {inproceedings}, url = {http://sven-mayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/le2017full-touchable-phone.pdf}, year = {2017} }
