Evaluating two-handed input techniques: rectangle editing and navigation

Published:15 May 1999Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper reports our ongoing design and evaluation of two-handed input techniques for several common tasks found in desktop interfaces: specifying simple geometric shapes, navigating in a large document and navigating between windows on a desktop.
