  1. Each solution exercise was repeated by five different participants. The first column reports the total time needed to carry out the exercise, the second and third report the share of time in head-up or head-down position respectively. The fourth column shows the number of switches and the fifth column indicates the number of vocal communication in the exercise regarding the Air Gestures implementation.
