HybridPointing for Touch - Switching Between Absolute and Relative Pointing on Large Touch Screens

Explore a 21-minute conference talk presenting CursorTap, an innovative extension of HybridPointing for large wall-sized multitouch displays. Learn about this technique that combines absolute and relative pointing, allowing users to switch between modes for efficient interaction on large touch screens. Discover the results of a controlled experiment comparing CursorTap to standard absolute touch input and a whole-display "Drag" technique, revealing CursorTap's superior performance in scenarios involving distant and nearby targets. Gain insights from a second study examining CursorTap's practical application in a two-person game, where participants frequently chose it for primary interactions. Understand the potential of this hybrid approach in enhancing user experience and efficiency when interacting with large touch surfaces.
