SUMMARY:Usable Without Touch? Revealing the Relationship Between Usability
  and Mid-Air Gestures
DESCRIPTION:Justin Catalano and Yue Luo (San Jose State University)\n\nMid
 -air gestures are an interaction method where the participant uses their h
 and(s) to perform a movement or sequence that represents control. This met
 hod of interaction is becoming more common for public use, yet the impact 
 on usability lacks summarization. This systematic review explores themes o
 f usability testing methods, applications, gesture design, multimodal comb
 inations, and input comparisons. Findings reveal that usability depends on
  gesture design factors, context, and user characteristics. Currently, var
 ious usability methods are used to evaluate the usability of mid-air gestu
 res. We found that user-generated gesture sets tend to be more usable than
  pre-chosen gesture sets. We also found that mid-air gesture interaction p
 erforms better when paired with a feedback method. Additionally, when mid-
 air gestures are compared to familiar interaction modalities like touch or
  voice, they are often less preferred, pointing to gaps in intuitiveness a
 nd learnability. Participant differences, familiarity, and training also i
 nfluence the perceived usability, highlighting the need for inclusive and 
 adaptive design. We propose design guidelines to improve gesture systems, 
 feedback, contextual fit, and usability evaluations.\n\nTrack: Usability a
