Though many children use mobile applications to support their learning and entertainment, the devices and underlying interactions were not designed specifically for children. The goal of this project is to make touch and gesture interactions more accessible and user-friendly to young users. This research will yield new understanding about the appropriate and successful ways to sense, recognize, and recover from errors in touch-based interactions with children. The approach involves studying children interacting with mobile applications that gather data on their touch and gesture interactions, as well as conducting design sessions with children to elicit their preferences for mobile device interactions and error feedback and recovery strategies. This approach will result in design guidelines for those creating applications and tools for young users. The proposed research contributes towards the evolution of alternative interaction technologies such as touch and gesture, and the understanding of child-computer interaction with new gesture-based technologies. Broader impacts: The broader impacts of this project lie in contributions towards the evolution of alternative interaction technologies such as touch and gesture, and the understanding of child-computer interaction with new gesture-based technologies. This work also will develop and validate an approach for investigating such interaction issues and designing improvements for them that can be used in future work with other populations such as older individuals or those with varying physical abilities. The grant will support two female young investigators, and will fund research experiences to benefit computer science students attending Bowie State University, a minority serving institution.

尽管许多儿童使用移动应用程序来支持他们的学习和娱乐，但设备和潜在的互动并不是专门为儿童设计的。该项目的目的是使触摸和手势互动更容易访问和用户友好。这项研究将对与儿童的互动互动中的错误进行适当和成功的方法产生新的理解。该方法涉及研究儿童与移动应用互动，以收集有关他们的触摸和手势相互作用的数据，以及与儿童进行设计课程，以引起他们对移动设备相互作用以及错误反馈和恢复策略的偏好。这种方法将为那些为年轻用户创建应用程序和工具的人提供设计准则。拟议的研究有助于诸如触摸和手势之类的替代相互作用技术的发展，以及与新的基于手势的技术对儿童计算机相互作用的理解。更广泛的影响：该项目的更广泛的影响在于对诸如触摸和手势等替代互动技术的发展以及与新的基于手势的技术的互动的理解。这项工作还将开发并验证一种研究这种互动问题并为他们设计改进的方法，这些方法可用于与其他人群（例如老年人或具有不同身体能力的人）的未来工作。 该赠款将支持两名女性调查人员，并将为研究经验提供资金，以使少数派服务机构鲍伊州立大学的计算机科学专业的学生受益。
