Can fixed furniture be equipped with touch screens to control a desktop? Furthermore, the places in which we use desktops have evolved, reaching a variety of environments ranging from our offices to our homes. A mouse outperforms other devices in simplicity, precision, and traceability.

Mouse interaction, with its two buttons and scroll wheel, remains the simplest and most efficient input for most desktop users. Today, pointing devices are mainly adapted to specific scenarios: the touch screen for better mobility and the mouse for desktop use. This study provides a method for combining the capabilities of touch screen and mouse interaction in a smart home, demonstrating that touch screen usage is only limited by our imagination. In a smart home, indirect interaction modes can be used to create a holistic control system.Īre touch screens reserved for mobile usage? This study explores the possibility of adapting touch screen technology for domestic environments. No single input method can satisfy users’ need to obtain a holistic solution for smart home control-it can even be difficult for users to find and distinguish between different input devices. Meanwhile, users are now dealing with more smart devices in their homes. However, the main usage of multi-touch screens is restricted to mobile applications. Multi-touch screens are becoming increasingly common in daily use, especially given the popularity of smart phones and tablets.
