We theorize a list of factors (smartphone support, body support and muscle usage) and explore their influence the tilt and rotation of the smartphone. From this we draw a list of hypotheses that we investigate in a quantitative study. We varied the body postures and grips (Symmetric bimanual, Asymmetric bimanual finger, Asymmetric bimanual thumb and Single-handed) studying the effects through a dual pointing task. Our results showed that the body posture Lying down had the most movement, followed by Sitting at a table and finally Standing. We additionally generate reports of motions performed using different grips. Our work extends previous research conducted with multiple grips in a sitting position by including other body postures, it is anticipated that UI designers will use our results to inform the development of mobile user interfaces.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems}, pages = {1–8}, numpages = {8}, keywords = {standing, smartphone, mobile device, lying down, interaction, handgrip, grasp, design, body posture}, location = {Montreal QC, Canada}, series = {CHI '18} }
