Ergonomics of human-system interaction - Part 430: Recommendations for the design of non-touch gestural input for the reduction of biomechanical stress (ISO/TS 9241-430:2021)
This document provides guidance on the design, selection and optimization of non-contacting hand and arm gestures for humancomputer interaction. It addresses the assessment of usability and fatigue associated with different gesture set designs and provides recommendations for approaches to evaluating the design and selection of gestures. This document also provides guidance on the documentation of the process for selecting gesture sets.
This document applies to gestures expressed by humans. It does not consider the technology for detecting gestures or the system response when interpreting a gesture. Non-contacting hand gestures can be used for input in a variety of settings, including the workplace or in public settings and when using fixed screens, mobile, virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed-mode reality devices.
Some limitations of this document are:
— The scope is limited to non-contacting gestures and does not include other forms of inputs. For example, combining gesture with speech, gaze or head position can reduce input error, but these combinations are not considered here.
— The scope is limited to non-contacting arm, hand and finger gestures, either unilateral (one-handed) or bilateral (two-handed).
— The scope assumes that all technological constraints are surmountable. Therefore, there is no consideration of technological limitations with interpreting ultra-rapid gestures, gestures performed by people of different skin tones or wearing different colours or patterns of clothing.
— The scope is limited to UI-based command-and-control human computer interaction (HCI) tasks and does not include gaming scenarios, although the traversal of in-game menus and navigation of UI elements is within scope.
— The scope does not include HCI tasks for which an obviously more optimal input method exists. For example, speech input is superior for inputting text than gesture input.
— The scope includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) and the use of head-mounted displays (HMDs).
— The scope does not include the discoverability of gestures but does include the learnability and memorability of gestures. It is assumed that product documentation and tutorials will adequately educate end users about which gestures are possible. Therefore, assessing gesture discoverability is not a primary goal of the recommendations in this document.
Ergonomie der Mensch-System-Interaktion - Teil 430: Berührungslose Gesteneingabe - Empfehlungen zur Gestaltung für die Verringerung der biomechanischen Belastung (ISO/TS 9241‑430:2021)
Dieses Dokument bietet einen Leitfaden für die Gestaltung, Auswahl und Optimierung von berührungslosen Hand- und Armgesten für die Mensch-Computer-Interaktion. Es befasst sich mit der Bewertung der Gebrauchstauglichkeit und der Ermüdung im Zusammenhang mit der Gestaltung verschiedener Gestensätze und gibt Empfehlungen für Ansätze zur Bewertung der Gestaltung und der Auswahl von Gesten. Dieses Dokument bietet auch eine Anleitung zur Dokumentation des Auswahlprozesses von Gestensätzen.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Gesten, die von Menschen ausgedrückt werden. Es berücksichtigt nicht die Technologie zur Erkennung von Gesten oder die Systemreaktion bei der Interpretation einer Geste. Berührungslose Handgesten können für Eingaben in einer Vielzahl von Umgebungen verwendet werden, einschließlich am Arbeitsplatz oder in öffentlichen Umgebungen und bei der Verwendung von festen Bildschirmen, mobilen Geräten, Geräten für Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality oder Mixed Reality.
Einige Einschränkungen dieses Dokuments sind:
- Der Anwendungsbereich ist auf berührungslose Gesten beschränkt und schließt keine weiteren Formen der Eingabe ein. Beispielsweise kann die Kombination von Gesten mit Sprache, Blicken oder Kopfposition Eingabefehler reduzieren, aber diese Kombinationen werden hier nicht berücksichtigt.
- Der Anwendungsbereich beschränkt sich auf berührungslose Arm-, Hand- und Fingergesten, entweder unilateral (einhändig) oder bilateral (beidhändig).
- Der Anwendungsbereich geht davon aus, dass alle technologischen Beschränkungen überwindbar sind. Daher werden technologische Beschränkungen bei der Interpretation von ultraschnellen Gesten, Gesten, die von Personen mit unterschiedlicher Hautfarbe oder unterschiedlichen Farben oder Mustern der Kleidung ausgeführt werden, nicht berücksichtigt.
- Der Anwendungsbereich ist auf UI basierte Aufgaben (UI, en: user interface) der Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (HCI, en: human computer interaction) beschränkt und umfasst keine Spieleszenarien, obwohl das Durchlaufen von Spielmenüs und die Navigation von UI Elementen in den Anwendungs-bereich fallen.
- Der Anwendungsbereich umfasst keine HCI Aufgaben, für die es eine offensichtlich bessere Eingabe-methode gibt. So ist beispielsweise die Spracheingabe für die Eingabe von Text besser geeignet als die Gesteneingabe.
- Der Anwendungsbereich umfasst Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) und Mixed Reality (MR) sowie die Verwendung von Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs).
- Der Anwendungsbereich umfasst nicht die Erkennbarkeit von Gesten, wohl aber die Erlernbarkeit und Einprägsamkeit von Gesten. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass Produktdokumentation und Tutorials die Endnutzer ausreichend darüber aufklären, welche Gesten möglich sind. Daher ist die Bewertung der Erkennbarkeit von Gesten kein primäres Ziel der Empfehlungen in diesem Dokument.
Ergonomie de l'interaction homme-système - Partie 430: Recommandations pour la conception de la saisie gestuelle sans contact pour la réduction du stress biomécanique (ISO/TS 9241-430:2021)
Le présent document fournit des lignes directrices relatives à la conception, à la sélection et à l’optimisation des gestes des mains et des bras sans contact pour l’interaction homme-système. Il traite de l’évaluation de l’utilisabilité et de la fatigue associée à différentes conceptions d’ensembles de gestes et fournit des recommandations pour les méthodes d’évaluation de la conception et de sélection des gestes. Le présent document fournit aussi des lignes directrices sur la documentation du procédé pour le choix des ensembles de gestes.
Le présent document s’applique aux gestes effectués par des humains. Il ne tient pas compte de la technologie pour détecter les gestes ou de la réponse du système lors de l’interprétation d’un geste. Les gestes des mains sans contact peuvent être utilisés pour l’entrée de données dans divers lieux, notamment le lieu de travail ou les lieux publics, et en cas d’utilisation de dispositifs à écrans fixes, mobiles, de réalité virtuelle, de réalité augmentée ou en mode mixte.
Les limitations du présent document sont notamment les suivantes:
— le domaine d’application est limité aux gestes sans contact et n’inclut pas les autres formes d’entrées. Par exemple, combiner le geste et la parole, le regard ou la position de la tête peut réduire les erreurs d’entrée; ces combinaisons ne sont pas prises en compte ici;
— le domaine d’application est limité aux gestes des bras, des mains et des doigts sans contact, qu’ils soient unilatéraux (une main) ou bilatéraux (deux mains);
— le domaine d’application suppose que toutes les contraintes technologiques sont surmontables. Par conséquent, il ne tient pas compte des limitations technologiques liées à l’interprétation de gestes ultra-rapides ni des gestes effectués par des personnes de couleur de peau différente ou portant des types de vêtements différents ou de couleurs différentes;
— le domaine d’application est limité aux tâches d’interface utilisateur à commandes et contrôles basés sur une interaction homme-ordinateur et il n’inclut pas les scénarios de jeux, bien que la traversée des menus de jeux et la navigation des éléments d’interface utilisateur entrent dans le domaine d’application;
— le domaine d’application n’inclut pas les tâches d’IHM pour lesquelles il existe une méthode d’entrée de données plus optimale évidente. Par exemple, l’entrée vocale est supérieure à l’entrée gestuelle pour saisir du texte;
— le domaine d’application inclut la réalité virtuelle (VR), la réalité augmentée (AR) et la réalité mixte (MR) et l’utilisation de dispositifs de visualisation sur casques (HMD);
— le domaine d’application n’inclut pas la découvrabilité des gestes, mais il inclut l’apprentissage et la mémorabilité des gestes. Il est supposé que la documentation produit et les didacticiels vont éduquer de façon appropriée les utilisateurs finaux sur les gestes qui sont possibles. Par conséquent, l’évaluation de la découvrabilité des gestes n’est pas un objectif primordial des recommandations fournies dans le présent document.
Ergonomija medsebojnega vplivanja človek-sistem - 430. del: Priporočila za načrtovanje brezkontaktnega vnosa s kretnjami za zmanjšanje biomehanske obremenitve (ISO/TS 9241-430:2021)
Ta dokument vsebuje smernice za načrtovanje, izbiro in optimizacijo brezkontaktnih kretenj z dlanmi in rokami za medsebojno vplivanje človek-sistem. Obravnava oceno uporabnosti in utrujenosti, ki sta povezani z različnimi zasnovami nabora kretenj, in podaja priporočila za pristope k vrednotenju načrtovanja in izbire kretenj. Ta dokument vsebuje tudi smernice za dokumentiranje postopka za izbiro nabora kretenj.
Ta dokument se uporablja za kretnje, ki jih izvajajo ljudje. Ne obravnava tehnologije za zaznavanje kretenj ali odziva sistema pri razlagi kretnje. Brezkontaktne kretnje z dlanmi se lahko uporabljajo za vnos v različnih okoljih, vključno z delovnim mestom ali v javnih okoljih in pri uporabi fiksnih zaslonov, mobilnih naprav ter naprav za navidezno resničnost, obogateno resničnost ali kombinirano resničnost.
Nekatere omejitve tega dokumenta so:
– Področje uporabe je omejeno na brezkontaktne kretnje in ne vključuje drugih oblik vnosov. Kombinacija kretnje z govorom, pogledom ali položajem glave lahko na primer zmanjša napako pri vnosu, vendar te kombinacije tukaj niso obravnavane.
– Področje uporabe je omejeno na brezkontaktne kretnje z rokami, dlanmi in prsti, bodisi enostranske (enoročne) ali dvostranske (dvoročne).
– Področje uporabe predvideva, da so vse tehnološke omejitve premagljive. Zato tehnološke omejitve pri tolmačenju ultra hitrih kretenj ali kretenj oseb različnih polti ali oseb, ki nosijo različne barve ali vzorce oblačil, niso obravnavane.
– Področje uporabe je omejeno na naloge medsebojnega vplivanja človek-računalnik (HCI) na osnovi uporabniškega vmesnika in ne vključuje igralnih scenarijev, čeprav sta prehod menijev v igri in krmarjenje elementov uporabniškega vmesnika znotraj področja uporabe.
– Področje uporabe ne vključuje nalog medsebojnega vplivanja človek-računalnik, za katere očitno obstaja bolj optimalen način vnosa. Besedilo je na primer lažje vnesti z govorom kot s kretnjami.
– Področje uporabe vključuje navidezno resničnost (VR), obogateno resničnost (AR) in kombinirano resničnost (MR) ter uporabo naglavnih zaslonov (HMD).
– Področje uporabe ne vključuje odkrivanja kretenj, vključuje pa možnost učenja in zapomnljivosti kretenj. Predpostavlja se, da bodo dokumentacija izdelka in vadnice v ustrezno pomoč pri poučevanju končnih uporabnikov o tem, katere kretnje je mogoče uporabiti. Zato ocenjevanje odkrivanja kretenj ni glavni cilj priporočil v tem dokumentu.

Non-contacting hand and arm gestures (e.g. mid-air gestures) for interacting with computing devices
are emerging as a useful form of input for both consumer and commercial applications.
Non-contacting gestures can be particularly well-suited for certain tasks, equipment and environments,
such as with wearable technology (e.g. head-mounted displays, instrumented gloves), in dirty or sterile
settings (e.g. kitchens or operating rooms) or for tasks where both hands are also used for other
activities (e.g. sorting packages).
