MarkPad: Augmenting Touchpads for Command Selection
summary
Gesture set starts from touchpad borders and ends on visual or tactile marks, mapping single-stroke directions and distances to commands; prototype runs on macOS, two users use it for months and customization is supported. Lab tests with a 7×5 grid yield 95% accuracy with dense visual/tactile marks, short/long strokes take about 0.8–1.2 s, border-only layouts drop to ~90% accuracy; false positives fall to 0.86–2.2% with 5–10 mm border width.
