A Metric for Short-Term Hand Comfort and Discomfort: Exploring Hand Posture Evaluation

A Metric for Short-Term Hand Comfort and Discomfort: Exploring Hand Posture Evaluation Jonas Mayer, Nicholas Katzakis SUI '16: ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction Session: Input Devices & Usability Abstract We propose a metric for quick short-term comfort and discomfort evaluation of non-resting hand postures. The metric is further improved using data from user studies. Comparing subjective user ratings with the metric indicates the metric to be a fitting model for perceived comfort and discomfort. Our results also indicate that there is an effect of hand comfort and discomfort on precision and performance in a 3D target pointing task.
