TPTITLE:Conté: Multimodal Input Inspired by an Artist's Crayon
TPABSTRACT:Conté is a small input device inspired by the way artists manipulate a<nl>real Conté crayon. By changing which corner, edge, end, or side is<nl>contacting the display, the operator can switch interaction modes<nl>using a single hand. Conté's rectangular prism shape enables both<nl>precise pen-like input and tangible handle interaction. Conté also has<nl>a natural compatibility with multi-touch input: it can be tucked in<nl>the palm to interleave same-hand touch input, or used to expand the<nl>vocabulary of bimanual touch. Inspired by informal interviews with<nl>artists, we catalogue Conté's characteristics, and use these to<nl>outline a design space. We describe a prototype device using common<nl>materials and simple electronics. With this device, we demonstrate<nl>interaction techniques in a test-bed drawing application. Finally, we<nl>discuss alternate hardware designs and future human factors research<nl>to study this new class of input.
