Main result

Other findings
Icon Translator
Proximity mode was better than dial mode according to users subjective attitude and time costs With Proximity mode people need more time to reach icons than normal mode
The tablet used in test was with smaller size Most participants in the test were male
Icon Translator
Software: Processing (Version 3.4) Hardware: Huawei MediaPad M5 Library: ketai
Icon Translator
To test these techniques on normal size tablet to find out which is the best technique for this context. To come up with a context of using the dial technique, which took benefits of reaching icons on the left side. Generate more techniques for thumb reachability for different tasks like Watching videos and reading or editing text.
