With touchscreen-enabled devices becoming more prevalent throughout military applications, it is important to create a standardized set of touchscreen gestures for military purposes. This standardized set must easily transfer among the devices military personnel use for operations. The authors describe two experiments targeting Department of Defense (DoD) civilians and active-duty Navy sailors to determine optimal gesture-to-function mapping of common gestures. Results indicate the two populations sampled had significant differences in their experiences with several categories of touchscreen (TS) and non-TS enabled devices. Results for gestural agreement between the military and civilian populations continued, showing substantial differences in their expectations for gestural functions. Through this research, the authors provide a beneficial first step in evaluating the set of gestures currently under development and suggest further research with military personnel as a necessary next step for developing a standardized gesture setfor military purposes.
