Abstract
We present an approach for improving gesture control by combining it with touch input to address a key shortcoming of gesture live mic syndrome by using touch- screen commands as a virtual clutch. The touch-enhanced gesture control scheme is designed and developed using a generic smartphone. For performance evaluation, this scheme was compared to the commercially available Myo armband device. Two tasks designed to measure selection accuracy and speed in a within-subject user study (n=30) reveal our touch-enhanced control scheme is faster and more accurate when executing selection commands. Additionally, qualitative results from a post-study questionnaire showed a majority of participants selected the touch-enhanced as easier to use over the Myo.
