Abstract: A new style of remote control device (RCD) that incorporates a touchpad for input is described. Unistrokes created through touch are used to issue commands and select menu items presented on a television screen. The design addresses the drawbacks of traditional RCDs, such as an over-abundance of buttons and the lack of alphanumeric input. We have assembled a prototype using a Windows9.5-based computer, an infrared card, and a touchpad. Future developments and research plans for the touchpadbased RCD are also discussed.

An isometric joystick as a pointing device for handheld information terminals
Miika Silfverberg,I. Scott MacKenzie,Tatu Kauppinen +2 more
- 07 Jun 2001
TL;DR: Results for the handheld conditions, both one-handed and two-handed, were just slightly off those for the notebook condition, suggesting that an isometric joystick is suitable as a pointing device for handheld terminals.
Notebook input devices put to the age test: the usability of trackpoint and touchpad for middle-aged adults.
TL;DR: The results show that ageing is a central factor to be considered in input device design and a significant training effect was observed for both devices and both age groups, although the benefit of training was greater for the middle-aged group.

Using speech and dialogue for interactive TV navigation
Aseel Berglund,Pontus Johansson +1 more
TL;DR: The benefits of introducing speech and connected dialogue for iTV interaction are investigated, and a case study in which a prototype system was built allowing users to navigate the information space and control the operation of the TV by a speech-based natural language interface.

Delineating Grazing: Observations of Remote Control Use
TL;DR: Most activity took place on the hour and half-hour rather than within programs, meaning that commercial avoidance was infrequent and suggesting that industry concerns about radical changes in viewing behavior resulting from remote control use may be overblown.

A Comparison of Cursor Control Devices on a Graphics Editing Task
Brian W. Epps
- 01 Sep 1987
TL;DR: Six cursor control devices were compared on seven graphics editing tasks and analysis of subjects' performance data showed better task completion times for the trackball and mouse than the remaining four devices.

Development of an off-display, high resolution, direct touch input device: the RSRE touchpad
TL;DR: The Royal Signals and Radar Establishment's Touchpad is described as exemplifying the latter, and three experiments are briefly described, comparing user performance with the Touchpad, an on-display touch input device, and a rolling ball.
