What is Bimanual Control? Aka, two-handed interaction Theoretic groundwork: Buxton and Myers
(1986), Guiard (1987) Considerable recent work in HCI (Zhai,
Kabbash, Hinckley, Balakrishnan, etc.) The idea:
Two-hands work in cooperative, asymmetric manner

Role of Each Hand Non-dominant hand
leads (goes first) sets frame of reference works on larger, more coarse tasks
Dominant hand follows (goes second) works within frame of reference set by non-
dominant hand works on smaller but finer scale

The Left-Handed Desktop
Desktop systemsare biased forleft-handed users!

Savings Small time savings but… These tasks are extremely frequent

Observations (1 of 2) Having heard this talk, product designers will
redesign the desktop to give right handers the same opportunities as left handers!
No! Keyboard layout is stable and ingrained. Changes are evolutionary, not revolutionary.

3461
Observations (2 of 2) The ideal LH and RH desktop interfaces are
mirror images!
No! Left handers are not mirror images of right handers. Left handers are more adept at using their non-dominant hand for trigger actions (e.g., Enter, DEL, Backspace)

Scrolling and Bimanual Control Scrolling is a classic example of a task well
suited to delegation to the non-dominant hand
Task Characteristics
Scrolling
Selecting, editingdrawing, etc.
• Precedes/overlaps other tasks • Sets frame of reference• Minimal precision needed (coarse)• Follows/overlaps scrolling• Works within frame of reference• Demands precision (fine)
