Abstract

Given the increasing use of touch-screens, the impact of images of objects upon cursor positioning were examined. As objects may present compatible and conflicting cues for movement, we examined the influence of relevant and irrelevant cues on responses when pointing to images on touch-screens. An experiment (N = 24) examined leftwards or rightwards pointing movements to images of large or small cups with handles that could be compatible or incompatible for grasping and were depicted as full or empty. Handle compatibility only benefited response latencies for empty cups, and this effect was reversed for small cups. Kinematic analyses suggested movements were less efficient to images of cups with compatible handles. Aiming points varied with cup size and contents suggesting that handles influenced performance when they presented lower Indices of Difficulty (as per Fitts' law). Object characteristics can influence screen hot-spots, and this primarily occurs whilst the cursor is in motion.

图像方向和内容影响触摸敏感屏幕上的指向运动：运动学分析。

鉴于越来越多的触摸屏的使用，对象的图像对光标定位的影响进行了研究。由于物体可能提供相容和冲突的运动线索，我们研究了当指向触摸屏上的图像时，相关和不相关线索对反应的影响。一项实验（N = 24）检查了向左或向右指向大杯或小杯图像的运动，这些图像的手柄可以与抓取相容或不相容，并被描绘为满杯或空杯。句柄兼容性只对空杯子的响应延迟有好处，而对小杯子的响应延迟则相反。运动学分析表明，对于具有兼容把手的杯子的图像，运动效率较低。瞄准点随着杯子的大小和内容的不同而变化，这表明当手柄呈现较低的难度指数时（根据Fitts定律），手柄会影响玩家的表现。对象特征会影响屏幕热点，这主要发生在光标移动时。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
