Abstract

Two-handed interaction is a very common paradigm that is gaining popularity in the fields of medical tele-operation, gaming, and large-scale design. In this paper, we validate Guiard's theory of bimanual control for the tasks of navigation and selection. We present the related literature and the theoretical models that motivate the research, in particular Guiard's theory of bimanual control. Two experiments are designed to verify and establish the relationship between navigation and selection in bimanual interaction based on Guiard's theory. The contributions assist interaction designers in developing adequate tools for bimanual operation.
