✦ Synopsis


An investigation is continuing concerning the use of feet instead of hands to perform workstation cursorpositioning and related functions. In the exploratory studies reported here, two versions of a particular footoperated device, the swing mole, were assessed against a mouse in a baseline target-selection task. This task had some of the elements involved in text editing, but did not directly include keyboard entry. The study showed that novices can learn to select fairly small targets using a mole, while revealing shortcomings in the current mole design and suggesting directions for redesign 20.2.15 (110495)
