[net.graphics] Input Devices

noviaw@teklabs.UUCP (Novia Weiman ) (07/19/84)

I am involved in an exhaustive literature search on any and all
graphic input devices. Some of the most applicable I found so
far are:

    1) Card, S., English, W., Burr, B.  Evaluation of Mouse, Joystick,
       Step Keys, and Text Keys for Text Selection, 1978.

    2) Embley, D., Nagy, G. Behavioral Aspects of Text Editors, 1981.

    3) English, W., Engelbart, D., Berman, M. Display-Selection Techniques
       for Text Manipulation, 1967.

    4) Hottman, S.B. Selection of Remotely Labeled Functions During Dual
       Task Performance, 1981.

    5) Hunstad, A., Brown, B. An Evaluation of Certain Interactive Input
       Devices Associated With Computer Driven Displays, 1970.

    6) Kroemer, K.H.E. Human Engineering the Keyboard, 1972.

    7) Morrill, C.S., Goodwin, N.C. User Input Mode and Computer-
       Aided Instructions, 1968.

    8) Price, L. Use of Mouse Buttons, 1983.

    9) Root,R.T. Man-Computer Communication Techniques: Two Experiments, 1967.

   10) Sharma, D.  Human Interface Design of the Display Text Editor TED, 1981

   11) Usher, D.M.  Comparison of a Touch-Sensitive VDU and Computer-Aided
       Keypad for Plant Control, 1983

   12) Whitfield, D.  Some Comparisons of On-Display and Off-Display Touch
       Input Devices for Interaction With Computer Generated Displays, 1983



For those of you who know, am I missing any significant research articles
in this field? Specifically, the areas being considered are human interfaces
and comparison studies of GIN (human) performance. Author, title, periodical,
and year published should be enough.

A thousand thanks in advance.
