Abstract: The world has now been introduced to touch and gesture-based interfaces as prominent tools in the creative industries, with designers and entertainers engaged with digital media. There are problems or shortcomings, such as ergonomic fatigue and precision in operating these touchscreens. This paper aims to comprehensively examine the effectiveness and ergonomic considerations of these interfaces in facilitating precision, expressiveness and intuitive interaction. A structured literature review was conducted, focusing on peer-reviewed articles published from 2020 to 2025, highlighting empirical studies in creative human-computer interaction (HCI). The study presents that hybrid approaches—combining touch, stylus and gesture input—are increasingly being used in creative software and hardware, offering more adaptable and inclusive designs. The findings support the need for the development of future user-centred interfaces that balance natural interaction with functional control, ensuring accessibility, reducing fatigue and increasing creative output. The limitation of this study focuses on specific interface types and short-term usage contexts.
