The recent decade’s surge in interaction with digital environments, characterized by increased screen time and multiple task options (e.g., email, web browsing, media), necessitates an examination of the decision-making processes governing task switching in these multitask environments. As human-centered design increasingly incorporates technology becomes progressively more immersive, interaction design moves towards more natural, familiar, gesture based commands, such as reaching and pointing. By quantifying effort as a measure of natural reaching distance, we can measure the influence of physical effort on task choice in a manner that’s particularly relevant to emerging technologies such as virtual reality. This study aims to explore how motor and cognitive efforts influence task selection decisions within digital platforms.Presented:
