TL;DR: Computer based toggle switches can be very confusing because the design needs to signal to the user the appropriate activity necessary to perform the desired action.

Abstract: Computer based toggle switches cart be very confusing. The most common problem encountered is the confusion between state indication and possible action labe~ does the label ON indicates the state of the device or does it indicate the resulting state when the toggle is activated? Another common problem comes from the difficulty of deciding what to do to change the state of the device. The design needs to signal to the user the appropriate activity necessary to perform the desired action. For example, Valk showed that users were confused by a design which showed a slider switch where only touches on the end of the slider were permitted, but “sliding” was not possible [5],

TL;DR: In this article, a virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user, which helps to clarify the user's intent and reduce the number of candidate interpretations of user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input.

Design of controls
Jerome H. Ely,Robert M. Thomson,Jesse Orlansky +2 more
- 01 Nov 1956
Abstract: Proper design of controls is an important factor affecting operator performance in most man-machine systems. This report provides a compilation of human engineering recommendations concerning various aspects of control selection and design. Whenever these recommendations are the direct outgrowth of research in this field, the appropriate research studies are cited. Other recommendations, particularly those in Part 3, have been developed by the authors from their own experiences. The report is divided into three main parts: Selection of Proper Control, General Control Design Considerations, and Detailed Design Recommendations for Specific Controls. Tables and figures are used frequently as means of presenting recommendations. A table of contents and a subject index are also provided as aids to the user.

An Experiment to Study Touchscreen “Button” Design:
Macy Ann Valk
- 01 Oct 1985
TL;DR: In this paper, ten different designs for touchscreen two-state buttons were compared in terms of ease of use, spatial requirements, graphic complexity, and use of color, and compared on the basis of both the process control subjects' and the non-process control subject's ability to quickly and accurately contact the touchable area of each button to change its state.
