Abstract

ColorFingers is a WYSIWYG, Location Independent Touch (LIT) based color picking tool aimed to give unique and swift interaction in choosing color on touch based devices. It makes use of touch interface and the touch information of two fingers to select almost 16 million colors. This tool is a model to prove how touch can be interpreted in different ways to achieve performance improvements in HCI. In this paper, we propose ColorFingers which is a color picker and briefly discuss the working of it. We show, how it achieves around 54% reduction in color selection time and 53% improvement in accuracy when compared to existing models. The proposed model emphasizes on Multi-touch, Quick feedback and Location Independency.

Model and representation: the effect of visual feedback on human performance in a color picker interface

User interfaces for color selection consist of a visible screen representation, an input method, and the underlying conceptual organization of the color model. We report a two-way factorial, between-subjects variable experiment that tested the effect of ...
Color-in-fist: a metaphor for color selection with mid-air interaction
Abstract
Color picker is a necessary interactive component in visualization system. Current color pickers are based on the WIMP paradigm and are mainly designed for mouse, touch and ray interactions. In the context of immersive and remote interaction, mid-...
Fusion of RGB and HSV colour space for foggy image quality enhancement

The physical properties of water cause light-prompted degradation of foggy images. The light quickly loses intensity as it goes in the water, depending upon the shading range wavelength. Visible light is consumed at the longest wavelength first. Red and ...
