Abstract

The wristwatch is a device that is quick to access, but is currently under-utilized as a platform for interaction. We investigate interaction on a circular touchscreen wristwatch, empirically determining the error rate for variously-sized buttons placed around the rim. We consider three types of inter-target movements, and derive a mathematical model for error rate given a movement type and angular and radial button widths.
