Improvements in Ergonomics and Safety by Implementing CC Switch to Touch Screen Displays based on User Survey

摘要

Touch screen display is widely used in various fields for its direct input operation. However, there still He many disadvantages in operation of a touch screen display, which need further improvement. To improve the usability of touch screen display, we proposed a new concept switch named CC Switch that provides positive tactile feedback on a display. CC Switch was presented at the 7th International conference on Human-Computer Interaction in 1997. Since its introduction, CC Switch has been applied to fields of industry such as automobile production line, semiconductor production line, broadcasting system, industrial robot, and other factory floor applications. In this paper, we report the effectiveness of CC Switch on improving the usability of touch screen display and the results of user survey we performed.
