Rolling-Menu: Rapid Command Selection in Toolbars Using Roll Gestures with a Multi-DoF Mouse
summary
Rolling-Menu uses the Roly-Poly Mouse and a Wacom touch surface to select toolbar items by roll gestures, activating at either ~12° or ~37° and freezing the pointer near the task so object→command and back movements shrink. With simple horizontal toolbars up to 14 items it speeds selection by up to ~29% and maintains >90% accuracy. Three winning variants emerge: direct mapping + tap validation and 180° mapping + roll validation, and performance stays strong on dropdown toolbars but degrades on 3×3 grid layouts.
