Conté: Multimodal Input Inspired by an Artist's Crayon

Résumé

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