Haptically creating affordances: the user-tool interface.

چکیده
Successful use of a hand-held tool requires overcoming the rotational inertia of the hand-plus-tool system. Where an object is grasped affects this rotational inertia. Appropriate choice of grip position may be crucial in the safe, effective, and efficient control of a hand-held tool. In 3 experiments, the authors investigated how choice of grip position on a tool was constrained by task demands. The results suggest that choice of grasp position serves to establish relationships among 3 variables derived from the inertial ellipsoid of the hand-object system (volume, symmetry, and eigenvector angle) in a way that specifically reflected the power or precision constraints of the given task. These variables have previously been shown to play a role in haptic perception of tool function. Changing grasp position on a tool is a way to exert control over the nuances of the user-tool interface.

متن کاملUsability and Affordances: Examinations of Object-Naming and Object-Task Performance in Haptic Interfaces
The introduction of haptic elements in a graphic user interfaces are becoming more widespread. Since haptics are being introduced rapidly into computational tools, investigating how these models affect Human-Computer Interaction would help define how to integrate and model new modes of interaction. The interest of this paper is to discuss and investigate the issues surrounding Haptic and Graphi...

We describe here the design of a number of alternative interface “kernels” that are intended for use by humanities scholars interested in using the Nora data mining system. The purpose of the kernels is to encapsulate the results of the software training phase. The trained kernels provide several functions. They can be saved for future application against other collections or combinations of co...
متن کاملRepresentational Affordances in design of Clinical Research Information System.
Representational Affordances are distributed representations extended across external (the environment) and internal (the organism) representations. Usability problem of Clinical Research Information System (CRIS) is a major barrier for their acceptance. Design of user interface (representation) is very important to the functionality and usability of CRIS. We propose that the user interface wit...
