Modeling human behavior during touchscreen interaction in mobile situations

Abstract

As mobile devices are becoming more ubiquitous, it is common for users to interact with them in many different situations. In our research, we focus on modeling human behavior during touchscreen interaction in mobile situations. Resulting models do not only increase our understanding of human behavior but also predict or infer intended user interaction. This enables us to design interfaces suited for one-handed interaction and to derive new interaction possibilities. In our work, we will collect data in lab studies as well as on a large scale to create models with high external validity.
