[1] Hinckley is a member of the CHI Academy[2] and has served as associate editor at ACM TOCHI (Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction) since 2003.
In the 1990s, Hinckley studied bimanual interaction at the University of Virginia, often in collaboration with doctoral advisor Pausch.
Hinckley's doctoral thesis, Haptic Issues for Virtual Manipulation (1997) investigated two-handed spatial interaction in user interfaces for applications in neurosurgical visualization.
[7] Implementation of tilt, touch, and proximity sensors produced a context-sensitive interface that responded to the user and the environment.
[10] The study employed a number of tools that evaluate user grip and motion behaviors in order to contextualize usage patterns using stylus and tablet devices.
[10] For instance, the research demonstrated how tablet grip sensing techniques could be used as heuristics to detect unintentional thumb contact with the touch screen.
