Cursor Control Device Test Battery

A software-based test battery was developed for cursor control device evaluation. Five tasks were taken from ISO 9241-9, and four from studies conducted at NASA. The tasks focus on basic movements such as pointing, clicking, and dragging. The test battery allows for standardized comparisons across input devices through use of a standard suite of basic tasks and data collection software. The test battery can also be used for other types of investigations (e.g., gloved vs. ungloved performance). The demonstration will showcase the software and give the audience the opportunity to operate various cursor control devices using the tasks in the test battery.
