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.

Improving 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...

Scroll 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, ...
