Abstract
Together with the advances of the touch screen interface, non-touch or touchless interfaces which can be operated without touching a display have emerged. The replacement of touch interfaces with non-touch interfaces based on humans’ gesture recognition can give rise to more intuitive interfaces. In this study, the four non-touch gesture sets for manipulating music players were drawn. Each of them was based on users’ stereotypes, icons’ shape, direction of physical movements, and character shape of function names. Then, an experiment was performed to verify the usefulness of the derived gesture sets. The experimental results showed that the gesture sets based on both stereotypes and directions of physical movements required less operation times and had higher satisfaction scores. This result can be used in designing proper non-touch gestures for operating a device in the future.
