Mobile evolution …
Touch Interfaces
Leading to …
pleasant
Tactile feedback
loss of tactile feedback
Loss of physical stability
hard to select targets
it occurs to everyone
… and motor impaired
require less strength
Adapt to users’ needs
Provide the knowledge to build better touch interfaces
We performed …
Tested several …

Conclusions
What is the best size for each interaction technique?
12 mm
However, error rates are still …
High
What is the best screen area for each interaction technique?
Regarding target position …
Support
What is the best interaction technique for motor-impaired people?
What is the best interaction technique for each screen area?
What is the best technique-size-area combination?
Explore target size for the target population Differences between able-bodied and tetraplegics
