Abstract

Two experimental evaluations were conducted to compare interaction modes on a CAD system and a map system respectively. For the CAD system, the results show that, in terms of total manipulation time (drawing and modification time) and subjective preferences, the "pen+ speech + mouse" combination was the best of the seven interaction modes tested. On the map system, the results show that the "pen + speech" combination mode is the best of fourteen interaction modes tested. The experiments also provide information on how users adapt to each interacation mode and the ease with which they are able to use these modes.
