Description

This paper proposes a virtual oval keyboard (VOKB) whose shape is designed on the basis of an easily pointed area with a pen, and a vector input method where users can input both a vector and its origin with one vector stroke. In our experiment, it was possible to input faster with VOKB than with a conventional rectangular virtual keyboard that is not suitable for a rotational movement of a wrist. In the vector input method, three kinds of vectors enable users to input space, carriage return and back space at any position. Another kind of a vector corresponding to shift capitalizes a letter at the origin of the vector with just one vector stroke. In our experiment, it was possible to input faster with the vector input method than with a conventional point input method.
