Two handed, or bimanual, input, has the potential to allow users to perform tasks faster, leverage their existing skills, and increase the expressiveness of their interactions. However, to be effective, it must be designed carefully. We explore the issues and possibilities of bimanual input, and in particular, how it can be leveraged in drafting and design applications.
