Abstract
The goal of this research is to understand how dual-surface touch gesture helps user interact mobile phone with one hand from user experience perspective. Hence, we proposed a set of gestures and some design recommendations for enhancing the browsing usability. Finally we emulated the information seeking task on mobile phone. The results showed that, compare to traditional graphic user interface, browsing gestures eased the thumb fatigue, reduced the error rate and task completed time.
