Resumo: This paper presents the results of a preliminary study on the interaction of the fingertip and a mobile device’s touch screen. The objective of this study is to identify the finger postures that will be included in the main study on the contact area in the interaction between fingertip and a flat surface. Twenty participants (15 males and 5 females) took part in this study. They were asked to complete two tasks in a sitting posture. In the first task, they had to touch targets on the mobile device screens by tapping them sequentially, while in the second task they were asked to connect the targets with straight lines. The results showed that the participants used mainly their thumbs and index fingers to touch targets on the screen of the devices. Only a small number of participants used their middle finger, and only in a few touching activities.

El objetivo del estudio es identificar posturas de los dedos que se incluirán en el estudio principal en el área de contacto en la interacción entre las puntas de los dedos y una superficie plana. Veinte participantes (15 hombres), participaron en este estudio. Se les pidió que completasen dos tareas en una postura sentada. En la primera tarea, tuvieron que tocar objetivos en las pantallas de dispositivos móviles de una forma secuencial, mientras que en la segunda tarea se les pidió que conectasen posiciones objetivo con líneas rectas. Los resultados mostraron que los participantes utilizan principalmente sus dedos pulgares e indicadores para tocar posiciones objetivo en la pantalla de los dispositivos. Sólo un pequeño número de participantes usó su dedo medio, y en pocas actividades.(undefined)Universidad Nacional de ColombiaUniversidade do MinhoUmami, M. K.Arezes, P.Sampaio, Á.
