Effect of elastic touchscreen and input devices with different softness on user task performance and subjective satisfaction
International Journal of Human-Computer Studies(2015)
摘要
This study explored the relationship between the softness of two output displays (glass and elastic surfaces) and three direct input devices (fingertip and two types of styli, with acrylic and rubber tips) in terms of user task performance and satisfaction in tapping tasks. In a within-subjects experiment, 44 participants were asked to play a touch-based game as quickly and accurately as possible across combinations of the two independent variables. After finishing tasks in each condition, they filled out an evaluation questionnaire regarding tactile satisfaction, which addressed perceived feeling of pressing down on the surface, pleasantness, helpfulness, finger fatigue, and degree of elasticity. The results of this experiment show a main effect of touchscreen type on task performance, whereas input device type shows main effects on both task performance and satisfaction. Measures of five key sub-factors of subjective satisfaction are explained, and the practical implications of these findings are discussed. The two main stages of \"pre-interaction\" and \"post-interaction\" are observed.The combination of soft touchscreen and fingers shows the fastest task performance.An outstanding task performance does not guarantee a high level of user satisfaction.The elastic-surfaced display with the rubber-tipped stylus is the best for tapping.The glass-surfaced display with the acrylic-tipped stylus is the worst combination.
