Performance in a haptic environment.

摘要

For most computer users the human-computer interface is a visual environment in which the user depends on the sense of sight to interact with a graphical user interface. The most common device for interaction with a graphical user interface is the mouse. The user perceives objects in the environment visually and using hand-eye coordination moves the cursor to the desired object to interact with it. While a visual interface is sufficient for most human-computer interaction, the addition of other senses in the cognitive process of target selection may assist the user in making the selection decision. Therefore, in this study, the normal human-computer interface was augmented with tactile feedback from a haptic mouse to investigate possible increased performance.
