These systems must provide new types of human-computer- interaction with interfaces that are more natural and easy to use. Today, the keyboard, the mouse and the remote control are used as the main interfaces for transferring information and commands to computerized equipment. In some applications involving three- dimensional information, such as visualization, computer games and control of robots, other interfaces based on trackballs, joysticks and datagloves are being used. 3 Aykut Erkut ERDEM 10/9/2001 Introduction (Cont’d.) In examining how effective an input device is, we should take into consideration the following properties: 1. Input speed The rate at which characters can be typed, usually given in units of characters per second or minute, or words per minute. 2. Error rate The number of errors, usually given in terms of errors per hundred characters. 3. Learning rate The speed at which one can learn to use a specific input device. 4. Fatigue How tired a user becom
