Insight into 3D goal-directed movements through a division into meaningful movement phases

چکیده
The measures that are currently used to evaluate users' performances on interaction tasks in virtual environments often do not provide sufficient information for how to improve these interactions. The current paper proposes a new method for analyzing 3D goal-directed movements based on dividing them into meaningful phases. We apply the method to experimental data that we have collected earlier for a 3D task that resembles a standardized 2D multi-directional pointing task (ISO 9241-9). Our analysis demonstrates how a more detailed insight into 3D goal-directed movements can be gained. We claim that this analysis can help to better identify weak and strong points of input devices or interaction techniques.

Insight into Goal-Directed Movements: Beyond Fitts' Law
Various methods and measures have been developed to assess the quality of input devices and interaction techniques. One approach to investigating the performance of input devices and interaction techniques is to focus on the quality of the produced movements. The current paper proposes a new method of analyzing goal-directed movements by dividing them into meaningful phases. In addition to the ...
متن کاملFrom movements to actions: two mechanisms for learning action sequences.
When other individuals move, we interpret their movements as discrete, hierarchically-organized, goal-directed actions. However, the mechanisms that integrate visible movement features into actions are poorly understood. Here, we consider two sequence learning mechanisms - transitional probability-based (TP) and position-based encoding computations - that have been studied extensively in the do...
متن کاملMovement adaptations in 7- to 10-year-old typically developing children: evidence for a transition in feedback-based motor control.
We used a modified double-step pointing task to study movement adaptations in 7- to 10-year-old typically developing children. We found that the majority (63%) were able to optimally adapt fast, goal-directed visually-guided movements to a late change in target location meeting the requirements of speed and accuracy. A minority (35%) failed to meet the requirement of accuracy resulting in a les...
متن کاملDesigning 3D Selection Techniques Using Ballistic and Corrective Movements
The two-component model is a human movement model in which an aimed movement is broken into a voluntary ballistic movement followed by a corrective movement. Recently, experimental evidence has shown that 3D aimed movements in virtual environments can be modeled using the two-component model. In this paper, we use the two-component model for designing 3D interaction techniques which aim at faci...
متن کاملImitation in autism: why action kinematics matter
INTRODUCTION Humans have a flexible approach to imitation. If an action has a visual goal or is meaningful, we will “emulate” that goal using the most familiar or comfortable response from our existing motor repertoire. However, if the action is meaningless or lacks a visual goal we will more closely imitate the kinematic details of the action such as its amplitude, speed, or trajectory (Bekker...
