A flick in the right direction: a case study of gestural input
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the design and evaluation of a gesture-based scheme for issuing the back and forward commands in web browsers. In designing our gesture recogniser we conducted several experiments to determine metrics associated with the magnitude, timing and stereotypical errors of ‘natural’ linear flick gestures using stylus and mouse input devices. These lowlevel metrics are important to software designers who must implement algorithms that discriminate between gestures and other actions such as mouse clicks and drags. As well as empirically characterising gestures, the metrics provide various insights into stereotypical behaviour with gestures, including the facts that angular errors are larger in the left and right directions with the pen, that vertical gestures are ‘awkward’ with the mouse, and that downwards gestures are slower than other directions. An evaluation of gestures for web browsing shortcuts shows that they enhance navigation efficiency, and that participants were extremely enthusiastic about them.

Intermodal Differences in Distraction Effectswhile Controlling Automotive User Interfaces
ABSTRACT In this study, the haptical and gestural user input modes are compared with regard to distraction from a controlling task similar to steering a car. The examination is carried out in a driving-simulation laboratory. While performing the controlling task permanently, the test subject has to execute a variety of user input with a given modality. Haptical input is done by using buttons or...

Evaluation of Antinociceptive Effect of Pregabalin in Mice and its Combination with Tramadol using Tail Flick Test
The development of combination therapy is a coherent approach in severe pain treatment. The present study investigated the antinociceptive effect of pregabalin alone and in combination with tramadol in acute pain modeling. Therefore, three groups of male mice received either pregabalin (1 to 400 mg/Kg), tramadol (10 to 80 mg/Kg) or their combination intraperitoneally. Then latency time, maximum...
متن کاملTransverse Sensing of Simply Supported Truncated Conical Shells
Modal signals of transverse sensing of truncated conical shells with simply supported boundary condition at both ends are investigated. The embedded piezoelectric layer on the surface of conical shell is used as sensors and output voltages of them in considered modes are calculated. The Governing sensing signal displacement equations are derived based on the Kirchhoff theory, thin-shell assumpt...
