Abstract
Human-Computer Interface researchers at the Johnson Space Center are faced with the challenge of designing a cursor control device for use in zero gravity so that crewmembers can take full advantage of direct manipulation interfaces. Over the past year, the Crew Interface Analysis Section (CIAS) and the Astronaut Space Station Support Office at the Johnson Space Center in Houston have been working together to generate a research-based recommendation for the design of a microgravity cursor control device for Space Station Freedom.

Proxemic Cursor Interactions for Touchless Widget Control
SUI '23: Proceedings of the 2023 ACM Symposium on Spatial User InteractionTouchless gesture interfaces often use cursor-based interactions, where widgets are targeted by a movable cursor and activated with a mid-air gesture (e.g., push or Pinch). Continuous interactions like slider manipulation can be challenging in mid-air ...
Hover Cursor: Improving Touchscreen Acquisition Of Small Targets With Hover-enabled Pre-selection
CHI EA '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsEven with highly-sensitive touchscreens and emphasis on "designing for touch", small target selection remains difficult. Good touch performance cannot solve the "fat-finger" problem, which results from occlusion and the size disparity between fingers ...
