- ORIGINALITY: First work investigating interaction problems caused by using a mobile device while encumbered, a common everyday situation but never previously empirically characterized. RIGOUR: Fitts’ Law models derived from a thorough experiment showed touchscreen input performance dropped by ~50% when encumbered. We proposed a new evaluation methodology for mobile experiments to control for variability in input performance. SIGNIFICANCE: Results give UI designers clear and empirical guidance for the best kinds of touchscreen interactions for encumbered situations. The methodology has been adopted by the community, evidenced by significant citations. Published at ACM CHI, the top publication venue in HCI.
