This research explores how bimanual multi-touch interaction influences creativity, particularly in divergent thinking tasks. A study involving 65 participants compared interactions using mouse, unimanual, and bimanual multi-touch displays while conducting the Alternate Uses Task (AUT). The findings demonstrate significant effects of verbal fluency and age on creativity. The research raises questions about the nature of bilateral eye movements and their role in interactive creativity. Future work will involve deeper investigations into interface styles, participant homogeneity, and the integration of cognitive psychology and human-computer interaction methodologies.

Does bimanual interaction on a large multitouch display affect divergent thinking in a similar way to bilateral eye movement?
Looks like a job for Science! • Mouse • vs • Unimanual multitouch • vs • Bimanual multitouch
…and I asked 65 participants to carry out the AUT while interacting with the display. 33 female, 32 male, 18 to 50+ years old 22 were assigned to Mouse and Bimanual, 21 to Unimanual 43 Right handers, 5 Left Handers, 17 Ambidextrous 25 self-identified as non-native English speakers
I transformed their spoken responses… Transformed from audio: Totext: You can use it as a tool to scrape or pry; use it as a weapon to stab or scratch; you could again use it as a sort of tooth pick; or as a fastening device with a soft enough other object; you could use it to make designs, like a rule or something, tracing it, use the shape with a pen and paper; or you could kind of wield it like a walking stick or something if it was big enough and you could lean on it; or use it as a support device for some other structure or object. To a list of uses: - a tool to scrape or pry - a weapon to stab or scratch - a sort of tooth pick - a fastening device with a soft enough other object - to make designs, like a ruler, tracing it, use the shape with a pen and paper - wield it like a walking stick if it was big enough and you could lean on it - as a support device for some other structure or object.

Turns out verbal fluency and age have a very strong effect on divergent thinking.
Does bimanual interaction fail to affectIHIlike BEM does? Verbal Noise or Display encouraging BEM-like saccades? or _your critique here_
Future Work This work assumes similarity between the paper and computerized AUT in divergent thinking sensitivity– this should be interrogated. Repeat interface style comparison with a more homogeneous participant group Investigate inadvertent IHI via saccades with a different display setup
A More Applied Future? • Start with BFA • Mix in HCI + Cog Psych • ???? • Profit. A thorough examination involves learning more new methods. My MSc took 3 years, and this is just scratching the surface.
