| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Text entry is one of the basic interactions in current computer usage. However, it is difficult with small portable terminals used in everyday life like smartwatches. In this project, we proposed a mobile text entry method for situationally-induced impairments and disabilities. Specifically, targeting round-face smartwatches, we designed and developed a text entry method for small touchscreens, one-handed use in eyes-free situations, and natural actions.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
スマートフォンやスマートウォッチのような小型の携帯端末は，日常生活の場で用いられるため，状況によって機能が制限されるという障害が発生する．このような状況に対応できる本入力手法は，健常者だけでなく障害者にとっても有効である．すなわち，多様なユーザが多様な状況で情報へアクセスする手段となる．
