摘要:For most computer users the human – computer interface is a visual environment in which the user depends on the sense of sight to interact with a graphical user interface. The most common device for interaction with a graphical user interface is the mouse. The user perceives objects in the environment visually and using hand-eye coordination moves the cursor to the desired object to interact with it. While a visual interface is sufficient for most human- computer interaction, the addition of other senses in the cognitive process of target selection can assist the user in making the selection decision. Our initial studies examine the use of a mouse in a haptically enhanced environment. A series of pilot studies have been completed to consider the feasibility and refine the experiments. The results of these pilot studies and future directions will be presented.
