Janet C. Read, Stuart MacFarlane, Chris Casey · 2002
This paper describes some of the hardware difficulties that are observed when children use graphics tablets and pens to enter text into computers. The occurrence of, and the consequences of, position errors with stylus pens are discussed; and two explanations are offered. Interface design strategies that can help to reduce these errors and minimize their effects are described.
