dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the performance of a wearable accelerometer/gyroscope-based system for capturing arm motions in 3D. Two experiments conforming to ISO 9241-9 specifications for non-keyboard input devices were performed. The first, modeled after the Fitts' law paradigm described in ISO 9241-9, utilized the wearable system to control a telemanipulator compared with joystick control and the user's arm. The throughputs were 5.54 bits/s, 0.74 bits/s and 0.80 bits/s, respectively. The second experiment utilized the wearable system to control a cursor in a 3D fish-tank virtual reality setup. The participants performed a 3D Fitts' law task with three selection methods: button clicks, dwell, and a twist gesture. Error rates were 6.82 %, 0.00% and 3.59 % respectively. Throughput ranged from 0.8 to 1.0 bits/s. The thesis includes detailed analyses on lag and other issues that present user interface challenges for systems that employ human-mounted sensor inputs to control a telemanipulator apparatus.
