Effets du retour de force sur la performance lors d'un geste de pointage

ABSTRACT

This article present a survey about a point-and-clic task. This task was done with a force feedback mouse. Compared with a point-and-clic task without force feedback, we have not observed a significant reduction of the performance when the target got a force feedback. However, when some other force fields are between the target and the movement origin, (haptic desktop for instance), performances decrease about 23,6%. We propose a dynamic force feedback, where the force intensity decreases when the mouse speed raises up. Performances are again worse than without force feedback, but only about 15,6%.
