Multi-Touch Interaction Research - “While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for […]

An introduction to keyboard design theory - Martin Hosken
Published by salifsilva July 7th, 2006 in layout e design. 0 Comments“Designing a keyboard is relatively easy: you just allocate codepoints to keystrokes. The difficulty comes when trying to decide what codepoints to assign to what keystrokes. Do you design based around the characters on the keytops of a user’s keyboard or the relative position of the keys? What do you do if you want to […]
