What Are They ? Ø Graphical controls and faceplate keys that users actively use in order to perform tasks on an automotive computing device. 2/10/2022 2

Indirect Pointing Devices Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø mouse the hand rests in a comfortable position, buttons on the mouse are easily pressed, even long motions can be rapid, and positioning can be precise trackball usually implemented as a rotating ball 1 to 6 inches in diameter that moves a cursor joystick are appealing for tracking purposes graphics tablet a touch-sensitive surface separate from the screen touchpad built-in near the keyboard offers the convenience and precision of a touchscreen while keeping the user's hand off the display surface 2/10/2022 3

Direct-control Pointing Devices lightpen l l l enabled users to point to a spot on a screen and to perform a select, position, or other task it allows direct control by pointing to a spot on the display incorporates a button for the user to press when the cursor is resting on the desired spot on the screen lightpen has three disadvantages: users' hands obscured part of the screen, users had to remove their hands from the keyboard, and users had to pick up the lightpen touchscreen allows direct control touches on the screen using a finger l early designs were rightly criticized for causing fatigue, hand-obscuring-the-screen, l hand-off-keyboard, imprecise pointing, and the l eventual smudging of the display l lift-off strategy enables users to point at a single pixel l the users touch the surface l then see a cursor that they can drag around on the display l when the users are satisfied with the position, they lift their fingers off the display to activate l can produce varied displays to suit the task l are fabricated integrally with display surfaces 2/10/2022 4 l

Comparisons for Pointing Devices Human-factors variables l speed of motion for short and long distances l accuracy of positioning l error rates l learning time l user satisfaction Other variables l cost l durability l space requirements l weight l left- versus right-hand use l likelihood to cause repetitive-strain injury l compatibility with other systems Some results l direct pointing devices faster, but less accurate l graphics tablets are appealing when user can remain with device for long periods without switching to keyboard l mouse is faster than isometric joystick l for tasks that mix typing and pointing, cursor keys a faster and are preferred by users 6 to a mouse 2/10/2022 l muscular strain is low for cursor keys

Virtual Reality Biosensors are a neural interface technology that detect nerve and muscle activity. Biosensors are electrodes that sit on the skin over the muscle or nerves being sampled. Just as the brain uses these signals to control functions of the human body, these signals can be detected by biosensors and interpreted by software to control electronic devices external to the human body. 2/10/2022 7

Active Interaction Devices Voice Recognition Research on voice recognition has been in development for over twenty years. Studies have shown that speech is the most rapid form of communication, no matter how fast you can type. Many systems are far from perfect, because they have problems understanding continuous speech. 2/10/2022 8

Force Feedback Devices There are many types of feedback devices. They include game pads, joysticks, gloves, and steering wheels. When playing some video games, these devices give us vibrations. There a wide variety of users from consumer use to research oriented use. The first video arcade game that used force feedback was Hang On developed by SEGA in 1985. 2/10/2022 9
