Abstract

A promising new way of interacting with computing devices is by using our feet. Foot interaction has the potential of being an intuitive, easy to use and enjoyable way of interaction. However, there are very few guidelines for using foot interaction, or specifically foot gestures. In this research we conduct a user elicitation study for foot interaction on a horizontal surface to produce user-defined gesture sets for actions taken from two domains - typical GUI actions and avatar controls. We analyze how foot gestures differentiate from hand gestures, point out foot gesture properties and discuss general observations.
