Controls
pp 131–161

For mechanical or traditional electronic products, the choice and design of controls is determined mainly by technical constraints. For this reason, the function of many traditional appliances could be worked out from their controls. Thus, every ...

Keyboards
pp 162–172

A keyboard is the combination of several keys located in a common housing. They are connected visually by one or more similarities (e.g. size, shape, close distance or arrangement). In general, there is also an intrinsic connection which means that the ...

chapter
Alternative interaction techniques
pp 173–189

With an increase in the range of consumer products that incorporate some computer processing (or intelligence) comes a corresponding increase in the types of interaction that one can expect to use in order to engage with such products. On the one hand, ...
