Tabletinvr: Exploring the design space for using a multi-touch tablet in virtual reality

HB Surale, A Gupta, M Hancock, D Vogel - Proceedings of the 2019 CHI …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
Complex virtual reality (VR) tasks, like 3D solid modelling, are challenging with standard input
controllers. We propose exploiting the affordances and input capabilities when using a 3D-…

Experimental analysis of barehand mid-air mode-switching techniques in virtual reality

HB Surale, F Matulic, D Vogel - Proceedings of the 2019 CHI conference …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
We present an empirical comparison of eleven bare hand, mid-air mode-switching
techniques suitable for virtual reality in two experiments. The first evaluates seven techniques …

STAR: Smartphone-analogous Typing in Augmented Reality

…, P Abtahi, C Collins, M Glueck, HB Surale - Proceedings of the 36th …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
While text entry is an essential and frequent task in Augmented Reality (AR) applications,
devising an efficient and easy-to-use text entry method for AR remains an open challenge. This …

Surfacefleet: Exploring distributed interactions unbounded from device, application, user, and time

…, C Holz, A Waghmare, HB Surale… - Proceedings of the 33rd …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
Knowledge work increasingly spans multiple computing surfaces. Yet in status quo user
experiences, content as well as tools, behaviors, and workflows are largely bound to the current …

Experimental analysis of mode switching techniques in touch-based user interfaces

HB Surale, F Matulic, D Vogel - Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
This paper presents the results of a 36 participant empirical comparison of touch mode-switching.
Six techniques are evaluated, spanning current and future techniques: long press, non-…

Arcall: Real-time ar communication using smartphones and smartglasses

HB Surale, YJ Tham, BA Smith, R Vaish - Proceedings of the Augmented …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Augmented Reality (AR) smartglasses are increasingly regarded as the next generation
personal computing platform. However, there is a lack of understanding about how to design …

Gaze-based mode-switching to enhance interaction with menus on tablets

Y Hu Fleischhauer, HB Surale, F Alt… - Proceedings of the 2023 …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
In design work, a common task is the interaction with menus to change the drawing mode.
Done frequently, this can become a tedious and fatiguing task, especially for tablets where …

Gesture2Text: A Generalizable Decoder for Word-Gesture Keyboards in XR Through Trajectory Coarse Discretization and Pre-training

J Shen, K Khaldi, E Zhou, HB Surale… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Text entry with word-gesture keyboards (WGK) is emerging as a popular method and becoming
a key interaction for Extended Reality (XR). However, the diversity of interaction modes, …

RingGesture: A Ring-Based Mid-Air Gesture Typing System Powered by a Deep-Learning Word Prediction Framework

…, R Boldu, A Kalla, M Glueck, HB Surale… - … on Visualization and …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Text entry is a critical capability for any modern computing experience, with lightweight
augmented reality (AR) glasses being no exception. Designed for all-day wearability, a limitation …

Typealike: Near-keyboard hand postures for expanded laptop interaction

N Chhibber, HB Surale, F Matulic, D Vogel - Proceedings of the ACM on …, 2021 - dl.acm.org
We propose a style of hand postures to trigger commands on a laptop. The key idea is to
perform hand-postures while keeping the hands on, beside, or below the keyboard, to align …
