CTS e o mouse

Question

Esta não é a mesma pergunta que este , mas qual é o melhor mouse para o RSI?

Que tipo de indicadores alternativos as pessoas usaram que não eram desajeitadas, desajeitadas ou excessivamente caras?

    

Answer 1

Se você está preocupado com RSI, um trackball é definitivamente o caminho a percorrer. Eles são um pouco difíceis de se acostumar, mas você notará uma diferença muito rapidamente.

    

Answer 2

Eu alterno meu mouse entre minha mão esquerda e direita diariamente. Foi um pouco estranho usar minha mão no início, mas depois de algumas horas eu estava quase na minha velocidade normal.

Uma ótima alternativa de mouse que uso (sou um cientista da computação): link

SmartNav uses an infrared (IR) camera to track your head movements. Learn more about the technology. You reflect IR light back to the SmartNav, which sends instructions to your computer to move your mouse cursor.

HOW DOES THE TECHNOLOGY WORK? Infrared light is emitted from the LEDs and is reflected back to the imager by a corner cube reflector (3M safety material). This reflected light is imaged by a CMOS sensor and the video signal is passed to the preprocessing electronics. The video signal is thresholded against a reference level and all passing data is sent to the USB microcontroller to send to the PC for object tracking. In order to increase the signal to noise ratio an IR filter that passes only 800nm and above is placed between the imager lens and the outside world. The SmartNav can image any IR source; typically this is reflective material or an active IR source such as an LED. A user may track many different objects by placing reflective dots or LEDs on the object. The SmartNav has a 45 degree field of view and anything being tracked must stay in that field of view.

HOW IS MY HEAD MOVEMENT TRACKED? SmartNav tracks reflections from a tiny dot, which you can place anywhere.

Place our paper thin tiny reflective dot on the part of your body you'd like to control the cursor with. Preferred options include: Head Hand Hat Glasses Mic Boom You can also make your own reflective marker with NaturalPoint's high-quality tracking material available on our Accessories page.

HOW DO I CLICK? SmartNav offers multiple clicking options. Hotkeys: Re-map keys from your keyboard and assign them to emulate the Left, Right and Middle mouse buttons. Dwell-Clicking Software: Click by hovering the cursor in one spot for a small (and adjustable) amount of time. A full dwell-clicking system and on-screen keyboard are included in the AT software package, allowing for total hands free operation. Ability Switches: Industry standard input switch support allows you to plug two click switches into SmartNav for more clicking options. Choose from our full selection of hand and foot switches on our Accessories page.

Abstract—In a few months the computer mouse will be half-a-century-old. It is known to have many drawbacks, the main ones being: loss of productivity due to constant switching between keyboard and mouse, health issues such as RSI, medical impossibility to use the mouse e.g. broken or amputated arm and unnatural human-computer interface like the keyboard. However almost everybody still uses a computer mouse nowadays.

In this short article, we explore computer mouse alternatives. Our research shows that moving the mouse cursor can be done efficiently with the SmartNav device and mouse clicks can be emulated in many complementary ways. We believe that computer users can increase their productivity and their health by using those alternatives.

This article is voluntary short and not overly technical, our main motivation being to make the readers aware of these solutions and their efficiencies. Details can be found in the appendices and by following the URLs and references. The primarily intended readers are computer scientists, people with RSI, physicians and interface pioneers. Feedback is highly welcome: this is work in progress.

    

Answer 4

Eu mesmo não cheguei nem perto de "indicadores alternativos usados pelas pessoas que não eram desajeitados, desajeitados ou excessivamente caros?"

(A propósito, não consigo ver como um ponteiro pode ser desajeitado e desajeitado e ergonômico ao mesmo tempo, é uma espécie de oximoro.)

Mas posso recomendar que você leia esta lista de verificação: link ao considerar qualquer solução considerada "ergonômica".
