Direct-touch vs. mouse input for tabletop displays
Abstract
We investigate the differences -- in terms of bothquantitative performance and subjective preference -- between direct-touch and mouse input for unimanual andbimanual tasks on tabletop displays. The results of twoexperiments show that for bimanual tasks performed ontabletops, users benefit from direct-touch input. However,our results also indicate that mouse input may be moreappropriate for a single user working on tabletop tasksrequiring only single-point interaction.

“The reciprocal of b has been termed the index of performance (IP) and traditionally used in the literature [12, 26] as a measure of the technique’s throughput, with a higher IP indicating a more efficient technique.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
