A Mixed Methodology Study of the Effects of Age, Touchscreens, New Technology, Automation, and Interactions on Pilot Performance
… examined the effects of age on new technology, touchscreens, automation, and the interaction with pilot performance. Touchscreens have been introduced on the aviation flight deck, combining all pilot tasks in one device in multiple locations. This study is one of the first to examine pilots, …

Interfacing the screenic and painted surface: an artistic research project asking what can painting and drawing practice reveal of the contemporary practices and perceptions of touchscreen technology
Touchscreens form an increasingly prevalent part of daily life. They are often the primary mode of interaction with smartphones, tablets and devices in the public realm, yet the experiential aspect of navigating these devices has received relatively little attention. This study forms an enquiry …

Ergonomics Analysis of Touchscreen Utilization as a Function of Preferred Hand and Gender
… knobs and buttons. However, interacting with touchscreens does not provide the same tactile feedback as physical mechanisms, therefore they require more precise movement and visual attention, which distracts the user from the primary task.</p> <p>The purpose of this thesis was to investigate …

Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Dysfunction in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
… disease (AD) patients. The Bussey-Saksida touchscreens employ various tasks similar to those used in humans to effectively evaluate high-level cognitive and executive functions in mice. This face validity provides the best chance of successful cognitive translation across species. In our …

Handling ambiguous user input on touchscreen kiosks
… responsibilities and reliance placed upon touchscreens. This thesis investigates two novel techniques that attempt to alleviate these interaction problems. The first technique, predictive pointing, incorporates information regarding past interactions and an area cursor (which maps the …

SUM: an exploration of Shared User Models and Interface Adaptations to Improve Accessibility of Mobile Touchscreen Interactions
Touchscreens are ever-present in technologies today. The large featureless sensors are rapidly replacing the physical keys and buttons on a wide array of digital technologies; the most common is the mobile device. Gaining popularity across all demographics and endorsed for superior interface …

The golden touch: how screen touches influence product attitude and purchase intention
… the touch feeling of specific products and touchscreens may moderate this effect of interaction. Participants viewed pictures of products which had either congruent or incongruent haptic feeling with an iPad screen by directly touching the screen or indirectly using a mouse, and then …

Gestures for Human-Machine Interaction. Design Aspects, User Experience and Impact on Driving Safety
… war. Im Unterschied zur Bedienung eines Touchscreens gibt es bei Gestensteuerung kein direktes haptisches Feedback. Aus diesem Grund wurde in Experiment 3 der Vorstudie untersucht, ob es einen Ersatz für das fehlende direkte Feedback geben sollte. Als Ergebnis kann festgehalten werden, …

Characterization and modeling of ESD events and near-field scanning calibration structures
… caused due to sparkless discharges to electronic touchscreens is investigated. The statistical behavior of the induced currents is determined for different parameters such as a change in glass thickness, indium tin oxide layer equivalent resistance, sensor spacing to the ground plane, ESD …

Capacitive Touchscreen Sensors for the Measurement of Ions in Electrolytes
… and explores the use of mutual capacitive touchscreens as sensing tools for ion concentrations in an electrolyte, measuring directly from drops placed on the screen surface. This is explored using a standard, commercially available touchscreen made up of a conductive indium tin oxide on …

Investigating the usability of touch-based user interfaces
… museum information-booths and voting kiosks use touchscreens. Nevertheless, initial literature identified that the widespread use of a touch-based user interface has been limited by the high error rates shown in many studies, the lack of precision, the fatigue in arm motion, and the concern for …
