چکیده
This paper presents a usability study for text entry with a new version of the assistive keyboard replacement OnScreenDualScribe. Over five sessions (approximately 1 hr/session), three able-bodied novice participants achieved an entry rate of 13.9 wpm. In a case study, one disabled expert achieved an entry rate of 6.6 wpm. The main aspects of the software are described and differences to the ancestor DualScribe are highlighted. Finally, the potential impact of the system for persons with neuromuscular diseases – a user group it particularly accommodates – is elaborated.

متن کاملStrider: A Simple and Effective Terrain Navigation Controller
We present a simple controller for terrain navigation called Strider. The controller is based on the concept of walking and is implemented using a standard mouse device as used with virtually any desktop computer. Terrain can be explored at any detail by changing the height of the Strider. By applying a scale factor to the rate of change in position and Strider height based on the current heigh...

To most people, embedded systems are not recognizable as computers. Instead, they are hidden inside everyday objects that surround us and help us in our lives. Embedded systems typically do not interface with the outside world through familiar personal computer interface devices such as a mouse, keyboard and graphic user interface. Instead, they interface with the outside world through unusual ...
متن کاملAssessing the Posture and predicting the factors affecting musculoskeletal disorders in computer uses by neural networks
Introduction: Working with a computer and workplace conditions expose people to risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). This study aimed to assess posture, examine MSDs, and determine, weigh and prioritize the risk factors among computer users by a neural network algorithm. Material and Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in six phases on compute...
