HandMark Menus: Rapid Command Selection and Large Command Sets on Multi-Touch Displays
summary
Bimanual, hand-centered menus are implemented on a multi-touch tabletop and compared experimentally to standard tab menus (Tabs-2 and Tabs-8) using eight randomized targets. HandMark-Finger maps 21 commands per hand (42 total) around fingers and is faster than tabs at all learning stages with similar error rates and 12/14 preference. HandMark-Multi encodes eight finger-combination sets (supporting 160 commands), is slower early but matches tab speed after practice; prototype is single-user and needs ergonomic and visual-mapping refinements.
