What is it about?

The research in this paper aims to compare two different approaches in the interface design - a Novel interface based on two-finger touch interface input on touch sensitive device bezel (the surface that is around the display) to a Standard “wristwatch” style input interface based on side push buttons.

Why is it important?

Wearable devices’ small sizes and specific device form factors (display size and limited space for input controls) require specific attention to the device interfaces development processes.

Perspectives

Two different input interfaces were compared in this paper - “Novel” one with touch bezel interface and “Standard” one with four push buttons on the side of the device in term of speed and accuracy during device menu navigation process as well as comparison of the user evaluation about using both experimental models. The general paper conclusions are: The Novel experimental model outperformed the Standard one in speed of operations . When the set of interface command is longer, the benefit of using the Novel Model Interface is higher.
