The 1line keyboard: a QWERTY layout in a single line
UIST '11: Proceedings of the 24th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology

Current soft QWERTY keyboards often consume a large portion of the screen space on portable touchscreens. This space consumption can diminish the overall user experi-ence on these devices. In this paper, we present the 1Line keyboard, a soft QWERTY ...
Sandwich keyboard: fast ten-finger typing on a mobile device with adaptive touch sensing on the back side
MobileHCI '13: Proceedings of the 15th international conference on Human-computer interaction with mobile devices and services

This Note introduces a keyboard design that affords ten-finger touch typing by utilizing a touch sensor on the back side of a device. Previous work has used physical buttons. Using a touch sensor has the benefit that it retains the form factor and does ...
Movement model, hits distribution and learning in virtual keyboarding
CHI '02: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

In a ten-session experiment, six participants practiced typing with an expanding rehearsal method on an optimized virtual keyboard. Based on a large amount of in-situ performance data, this paper reports the following findings. First, the Fitts-digraph ...
