Integrality and separability of input devices

Abstract: Currentinput device taxonomies and other frameworks typically emphasize the mechanical structure of input devices. We suggest that selecting an appropriate input device for an interactive task requires looking beyond the physical structure of devices to the deeper perceptual structure of the task, the device, and the interrelationship between the perceptual structure of the task and the control properties of the device. We atllrm that perception is key to understanding performance of multidimensional input dev… Show more

“…Their results demonstrate the existence of a parallel and independent structure for object translation and orientation. Their results suggest that object translation and orientation share characteristics of an integral structure according to the notion by Jacob et al [13].…”

“…Jacob et al [13] proposed a framework that can facilitate the understanding and categorization of integrality and separability of input devices and interactions afforded by these. Two input dimensions are considered integral if they are perceived as a single dimension or seperable if the dimensions seem unrelated [13]. In their study, performance was better when the device matched the tasks in integrality/separability dimensions.…”

“…It is clear that the impact of visual feedback on spatial interaction is complex. Previous studies have provided evidence of a strong connection between the perceptual structure of visual information in an interactive display environment and the control structures of the input devices that facilitate interaction [8,20]. Other perceptual phenomena associated with control actions, such as kinesthetic and proprioceptive feedback, also affect spatial interactions in large-screen display environments [1,7].…”

“…For example, many drawing tools allow selection of several shapes by pressing the SHIFT key and modifying them all at once. Other tools use integrality principles [11] to manipulate multiple attributes of an object at once, such as the style and thickness of lines in a drawing editor.…”
