论文摘要
多点触摸输入技术在对基于触摸屏和触摸板设备的兴趣中增加了越来越流行。在不同的多触摸技术上已经完成了大量工作，研究人员和从业人员经常提出新技术。但是，由于没有多点触摸性能指标，几乎不可能比较此类技术。设计师通常使用自己的方法报告其技术的性能。此外，从未对多点触摸互动进行建模。这使设计师不可能在开发新技术之前预测新技术的性能，从而使他们花费宝贵的时间，精力和金钱。本文讨论了具有多点触摸技术的专用绩效指标和预测模型的必要性，以及实现这一目标的方式。
Multi-touch input technologies are becoming popular with the increased interest in touchscreen- and touchpad-based devices. A great deal of work has been done on different multi-touch technologies, and researchers and practitioners are frequently coming up with new ones. However, it is almost impossible to compare such technologies due to the absence of multi-touch performance metrics. Designers usually use their own methods to report their techniques' performances. Moreover, multi-touch interaction was never modeled. That makes it impossible for designers to predict the performance of a new technology before developing it, costing them valuable time, effort, and money. This article discusses the necessity of having dedicated performance metrics and prediction model for multi-touch technologies, and ways of approaching that.
