Comparaison de périphériques d'entrée physique versus périphériques d'entrée tactile virtuel

ABSTRACT

We introduce on this paper a comparison between four interactions during an input task on a four keys virtual keyboard. This keyboard is controlled by the same methods with the four interactions. Two interactions base on existing input devices while the two others simulate the functioning of those same peripherals but on a touchscreen. This study aims to define the adaptative faculty to a new input device and to give few numbers on the performance modification by the transfer of the physical interaction into the virtual interaction.
