【 摘 要 】

This thesis focuses on the evaluation, exploration and demonstration of crossing paradigm with touch modality. Under the scenario of crossing selection, the target is selected by stroking through a boundary ;;goal;; instead of pointing inside a perimeter. We present empirical evidence to validate crossing performance for touch. Inspired by the experimental results, we then develop, evaluate and demonstrate a new unimanual multi-touch interaction space called ;;pin-and-cross;;. It combines one or more static touches (;;pins;;) with another touch to cross a radial target, all performed with one hand. Our work serves to provide necessary support for the exploration and evaluation of more expressive multi-touch crossing techniques.
