Research Abstract

The ultimate goal of this study is to provide a systematic body of empirical knowledge as a basis for the future research and design of digital pen applications. This study presents a series of experiments that evaluate human capabilities and limitations in using pen-tip pressure, pen-tilt, and pen azimuth (PTA) as additional channels of control information for the carrying out of various tasks such as pointing, steering, drawing, writing and gesturing on pen sensitive screens. This study presents three main benefits ; it establishes viable ranges and limits within which humans can control and exploit PTA ; it offers a taxonomy of PTA based interaction techniques ; it also showcases a series of potential PTA technique designs
