Journal of Experimental Psychology GeneralThe information capacity of the human motor system in controlling the amplitude of movement.

6,321 Citations1992Paul M. Fitts

The experiments reported in the present paper extend the theory to the human motor system, including the visual and proprioceptive feedback loops that permit S to monitor his own activity and create an experimental situation in which it is reasonable to assume that performance is limited primarily by the capacity of the motor system.

The alphaslider

203 Citations1994Christopher Ahlberg, Ben Shneiderman

The Alphaslider widget employs RSVP as a method for rapidly scanning and searching lists or menus in a graphical user interface environment as a method for rapidly scanning and searching lists or menus in a graphical user interface environment.

“Body coupled FingerRing”

176 Citations1997Masaaki Fukumoto, Yoshinobu Tonomura

A really wearable input device “FingeRing” is developed for coming wearable PDAs, and a new symbol coding method that combines order and chord typing is proposed, and useful typing patterns are chosen by typing speed evaluations.

Improving Browsing Performance: A study of four input devices for scrolling and pointing tasks

161 Citations1997Shumin Zhai, Barton A. Smith +1 more

Alternative methods to improve user performance for browsing World Wide Web and other documents are investigated in a task that involved both scrolling and pointing and showed that a mouse with a fmger wheel did not improve user’s performance.

The Rockin'Mouse

134 Citations1997Ravin Balakrishnan, Thomas Baudel +2 more

The Rockin’Mouse is a four degree-of-freedom input device that has the same shape as a regular mouse except that the bottom of the Rockin'Mouse is rounded so that it can be tilted, thus making it suitable for manipulation in 3D environments.

Dual device user interface design

119 Citations1996Scott Robertson, Cathleen Wharton +2 more

A prototype of a multiple-device application consisting of a personal digital assistant (PDA) that operates in conjunction with interactive television (ITV) was developed from user requirements for a real estate information service.

An isometric tongue pointing device

87 Citations1997Chris Salem, Shumin Zhai

Results show that, after 30 minutes practice and adjustment, the subjects could use the Tonguepoint at a performance level that was only 5-50% slower than finger isometic pointing.

Differences in movement microstructure of the mouse and the finger-controlled isometric joystick

67 Citations1996Anant Kartik Mithal, Sarah A. Douglas

A study comparing the movement characteristics of the mouse and the velocity-control isometric joystick shows that the microstructure of movement can explain differences in performance among devices.
