on 02025-12-26text #editors on #multitouch #cellphones have terrible #UX problems with finger occlusion, constant user error, undiscoverable UI, etc. Based on his research on "Eloquent". “Android and iOS share a common problem: they copied desktop text editing conventions, but without a menu bar or mouse. This forced them to overload the tap gesture with a wide range of actions: placing the cursor, moving it, selecting text, and invoking a pop-up menu. This results in an overly complicated and ambiguous mess-o-taps, leading to a variety of user errors.” #toread

The whole talk is about an hour; this is 2'13" of one particular impressive demo. (Taken private within the next year, so the link is broken.)

on 02017-12-31#Michael-McGuffin #multitouch #UX #video using pop-up pie or radial menus: “First step, I put my finger down on the object I want to manipulate. Second step, I select the command [from the pie menu]. Third step, my two fingers provide the [continuous] arguments to control that command. I can do all that with a single hand, just by positioning my fingers appropriately to grab the command in the menu.” Presented at AVI 2016. The rather ponderous name is “Multitouch radial menu integrating command selection.”
