Feasibility of Foot-Operated Pointing Device-III
Details
Pointing devices play important roles in recent computer systems under GUI environments, but work-loads are concentrated to hands and arms in addition to vision. In order to reduce the physical loads, foot-operated pointing device has been studied, and we developed a device operated by both feet inclining a foot-plate. In this study, we investigated the performances of pointing in terms of display resolution and of drawing lines. Significant dependency on display resolution has not been observed, and it was found that the performance of line drawing is lower than that of a conventional mouse.
