However, it remains unclear how these ways compare and when users choose one over the other. In a first experiment, we compare touch and mid-air gestures to identify their relative performance for target acquisition. In a second experiment, participants choose freely between touch and mid-air gestures and we artificially require movement to simulate situations where mid-air is considered beneficial. Results from the first experiment show mid-air to be overall slower than touch depending on the task; in the second experiment, participants mostly chose touch in particular for selecting small targets and they rarely switched between mid-air and touch. Results also show that when faced with an increasing cost of using touch in the form of movement, participants chose mid-air over touch; touch remains as fast as mid-air on average. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://hal.science/hal-01399088/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01399088/file/StayOrTouch%20-%20author%20version.pdf %L hal-01399088 %U https://hal.science/hal-01399088 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ HCI-SORBONNE %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-9298
