Challenges Identified During Early Prototyping of a Ubiquitous Text-Entry System

Published in CHI 2017 Workshop on Ubiquitous Text Interaction, 2017

Ubiquitous text-entry, i.e. where text-entry can take place anywhere, during different contexts, requires a novel paradigm than what has been previously proposed for designing text-entry systems. In this paper, we report on our experience designing and implementing a ubiquitous text-entry system, aimed at facilitating text-input with any wearable device, including a smart-watch or a head-worn display. We report on the major issues encountered, including our approach for solving these. We present these concerns to raise the discussion level of ubiquitous text-entry systems from the lab to practice.
