Abstract
Design of future smart environments is challenging
especially when we are talking about smart control room
environments for advanced process control activity. One
key element of our concept of a future smart control room
is a movable multi-touch table called "Affordance table".
In this paper we present the results of a user test in
which we explored what kind of hand gestures are
intuitive and comfortable when using multi-touch
sensitive displays. Overall, simple gestures were
preferred over more complex ones, and dimensions of
gestures such as duration, force and direction have an
impact on participants' evaluations. Some gestures also
evoked similar associations among them. Our results
suggest that user preferences and associations should be
carefully considered when mapping gestures to system
commands.
