Supporting Mobile Sensemaking Through Intentionally Uncertain Highlighting
TLDRThis work introduces the idea of intentionally supporting uncertain input in the context of saving information during complex reading and information exploration in a system that uses force touch and fuzzy bounding boxes along with posthoc expandable context to support identifying and saving information in an intentionally uncertain way on mobile devices.

How do people cite this paper?
(generated 20 days ago)This paper's introduction of intentionally uncertain (fuzzy) text selection using force touch on mobile devices has informed subsequent interaction techniques for pressure-sensitive text selection and multimodal input for active reading, while its characterization of the cognitive costs and interaction challenges of collecting and highlighting information during mobile sensemaking has motivated a range of systems aimed at lightweight information collection during web exploration, reducing disruptions to users' reading flow, streamlining triaging workflows, and bridging unstructured sensemaking with structured decision support, and its observations about user uncertainty in deciding what to capture have been echoed in work on annotation struggles in NLP and imprecision-tolerant highlight rendering.
