“ ... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested. ”

-- Steve Krug, Don't Make Me Think, p. 136

Barthelemy, Kristen K., Reising, John M. and Hartsock, David C. (1991): Target Designation in a Perspective View, 3-D Map Using a Joystick, Hand Tracker, or Voice. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 97-101.

“The purpose of this study was to determine which of three cursor control techniques would provide the best means of designating targets in three-dimensional space. The three techniques tested were a joystick, a hand tracker, and voice. The current study showed that the quickest and most accurate target designations occurred when using the hand tracker, and when targets were positioned in the front most part of the three-dimensional volume.”

Barthelemy, Kristen K., Mazur, Kim M. and Reising, John M. (1990): Color Coding and Size Enhancements of Switch Symbol Critical Features. In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 99-103.

“The purpose of these two studies was to evaluate recognition performance of symbols on programmable switches using different critical feature enhancement techniques. Based on previous studies, it was assumed that subjects were processing the meaning of the symbols at a holistic level. Enhancing a critical feature (the specific part of a symbol which makes it most identifiable) was proposed as a method for creating a more unique symbol, thereby improving recognition performance. Color coding and size enhancement of the critical feature were evaluated to determine if either technique improved symbol recognition performance. In the first study the size enhancement was between 60-75% in total number of pixels for the critical feature. The amount of size enhancement was limited by the display surface area. In the second study, a new method of size enhancement was utilized whereby the longest axis of the critical feature was increased by 0.10 of an inch. In this study, there was no display surface constraint. In both studies color coding of the critical feature was also evaluated. The results of the first study indicated that only the color coding technique was significant. In the second study, both color coding and size enhancement were significant. It was concluded that in the first study the way in which the size enhancement was applied to the critical feature (an increase in total surface area) was not sufficient to achieve a unique symbol, so it did not improve the subject's recognition ability; however, in the second study, size enhancing the longest axis was sufficient to result in a performance payoff.”
