Short summary
This paper examines the new study of hand orientation as a substitute for computer-mouse movement and is evaluated based on ISO/TS 9241 part 411:Ergonomics of human–system interaction. Two pairs of hand-orientation candidates were evaluated, pitch–roll and pitch–yaw, to substitute up–down and left–right mouse-cursor movements. The empirical findings in this study provide a new suggestion for a suitable level of difficulty when using an inertial sensor to emulate the movement of a mouse cursor.
