ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The directional movement of users’ fingers has become one of the most interesting topics for human-computer interaction. Since a large proportion of people are right-handed, most application software for touch screen devices are designed based on the habit of right-handed users. However, this kind of design may cause inconveniences for the left-handed users when they slide over the screen, and it might lead to operational mistakes. In this study, a tunnel sliding experiment is designed to investigate the finger behavior attributes of the left-handed population. According to the experimental results, the finger behavioral differences between the left-and right-handed people are figured out, which contributes to the design of the user friendly software of touch screen devices for both the left-and right-handed users. This study is the basic research of touch devices interaction design and has a guiding value for the user interface design of mobile the touch devices.
