Abstract

Elicitation studies are becoming recently popular methodology to investigate novel gestural interfaces. Yet, little is known about possible factors that may influence this type of studies. To our knowledge, this paper is the first to investigate the impact of physical impairments in full-body motion gesture elicitation studies. Our study was conducted with 20 healthy and 12 arm and/or hand impaired voluntary participants undergoing rehabilitation. In total, 1,707 gestures were logged, analyzed, and paired with think-aloud data for 27 referents performed with and without imposed physical constrains. Our findings supported by observational analyses aim to reveal the challenges to achieve a single canonical gesture set, the most popular strategies for defining gestures, the variation of physical body engagement with full-body motion gestures, and the tendency towards personalized and hybrid gestures. Our results add to few existing research papers aiming for better understanding of potential shortcomings of end-user interaction elicitation.
