AirPanes: Leveraging Two-Handed Around-Device Interaction for In-Air Pane Switching on Smartphones
summary
AirPanes is a working prototype that maps multiple app panes into the space above, below and beside the phone so a free hand hovers to switch panes while the thumb or dominant hand selects items. A controlled study uses 12 items in two/three layers, compares dwell/tilt/touch selection techniques, and reports AirPanes is 50% faster than standard touch for an analytic browsing task. The stake layout (stacked panes) performs best; users report thumb-reachable space utility and some arm fatigue.
