A design method for “whole-hand” human-computer interaction
David J. Sturman, David Zeltzer · ACM Transactions on Information Systems · 1993
A disciplined investigation of "whole-hand interfaces (often glove based, currently) and their appropriate use for the control of complex task domains is embodied by the design method for whole-hand input.This is a series of procedures-including a common basis for the description, design, and evaluation of whole-hand input, together with an accompanying taxonomy-that enumerates key issues and points for consideration in the development of whole-hand input.The method helps designers focus on task requirements, isolate problem areas, and choose appropriate whole-hand input strategies for their specified tasks.Several experiments were conducted to validate and demonstrate the use of the design method.The results of the experiments are summarized and discussed.
