- Abstract
- Whereas gesture elicitation studies for TV interaction assume that participants adopt an upright, frontal viewing position, we asked 21 participants to hold a natural, comfortable viewing position, the posture they adopt when watching TV at home. By involving a broad selection of users regarding age, profession, our study targets a higher ecological validity than existing studies. Agreements rates were lower than existing studies using an upright, frontal viewing position. Participants experienced problems due to (1) having to use their slave hand instead of their dominant hand, (2) being in a certain orientation with their head making it more difficult to perform some physical movements, and (3) being hindered in their movement by the sofa there lay on. Since each person may have a different position inducing different gestures due to the aforementioned problems, the effect of a comfortable viewing position is analyzed by comparison to gestures for a frontal position.
