The talk took the original contribution as a point of departure, because for the WIPTTE venue we felt that the most important role of the work was to illuminate and help the audience understand more deeply the interaction modalities of pen and touch \u2013 as well as their use in tandem. And in the process the authors felt like they came to understood the topic more deeply as well, hence the paper that follows.<\/p>\n<p>One of the premises of the talk was that even a concept as seemingly straightforward as \u2018touch\u2019 \u2013 not to mention pen + touch, used together in complementary roles \u2013 is perhaps not as well understood as we might think it is.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, we argue that beyond the standard idiom of touch (and multi-touch) interaction on touchscreens, there are many aspects of \u2018touch\u2019 that are rarely considered (much less actually sensed) by existing devices and interaction designs. We show how this surrounding context of manual activity \u2013 how the user is holding the tablet, how the user is gripping the pen, and how each device is oriented and moving relative to the other \u2013 have the potential to considerably enrich interaction with tablets, and thereby to re-define what we conceive of as \u2018natural\u2019 interaction with pen and touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The authors were invited to present a reprise of a recently-published paper on Sensing Techniques for Tablet + Stylus Interaction at the WIPTTE 2014 Workshop.
