Microsoft Proposes Thumb-Driven Interfaces

Posted by timothy on from the nintendo-ahead-of-the-game dept.

bonch writes "Microsoft Research has demonstrated examples of two thumb-driven interfaces for handhelds proposed a few weeks ago. Today's devices require the use of two hands; Microsoft wants to reduce this to one. Usability tests showed, however, that some users had difficulty adjusting to the thumb movements. Full researcher's report here."
