چکیده
This study explored how individuals categorized on handedness (being left or right hand dominant) reacted to having the vertical scroll bar of a web browser relocated to the left side of the screen. The relocation of the vertical scroll bar served as an alternative to the relocation of the prominent left aligned main navigation menu for most websites. Fifteen participants were recruited for the study. Each participant interacted with two versions of a web site in a modified browser to complete a set of ten short tasks. Participants completed tasks by interacting with a traditional and non-traditional vertical browser alignment. Left and right-handed participants were determined to be strikingly different in operation. Vertical scroll relocation produced some interesting results and responses.

Wheelie - Using a Scroll-Wheel Pen in Complex Virtual Environment Applications
Input devices and system control techniques for complex virtual environment (VE) applications are still an open field of research. We propose the use of a scroll-wheel as an extra, dedicated input stream on a tracked stylus for means of system control. We demonstrate how this enhanced stylus can be used together with an appropriate user interface to quickly select commands, change tools, and ad...
متن کاملMoreWheel: Multimode Scroll-Wheeling Depending on the Cursor Location
This paper describes the design of a scrolling interaction that supports all line, page, and absolute scrolling with a scroll wheel only. This technique changes the scrolling speed dynamically depending on the position of the mouse cursor. It also allows users to scroll a window to an absolute position by dragging with the wheel button down. We developed a prototype utility for applying the pro...
متن کاملImproving List Selection Performance with Pressure- Sensitivity on a Scroll Ring
We propose supplementing the scroll ring with pressuresensitivity to improve selection performance especially for post-desktop and mobile systems. To show the usefulness of pressure-sensitivity, we have designed and evaluated a first software prototype, based on pen input. The results of this preliminary study indicate a potential for a substantial increase in selection task performance and hig...
متن کاملScroll Compressor with no Tipping Moment
A scroll compressor concept is presented which has a very unique method of eliminating the inherent overturning or tipping moment associated with conventional orbiting scrolls. This design is a high~side compressor with axial compliance. An innovative gas discharge path from the involute effectively reduces the height of the assembly. A special offset is placed in the location of the involute, ...
متن کاملAdapting infinite-scroll with the user experience in mind
In a world where technology advances, it is important that the human-computer interface follows in the same pace, to maximize the user experience. This means that when the machines become more powerful and the services become more comprehensive, it is important that they still are adapted to the users. In the web browsing world, a concept called infinite-scroll has become popular when trying to...
