Carter, J. (author), van Erp, J.B.F. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)The area of tactile and haptic interactions has produced a number of exemplar systems and an even greater number of research papers. The time has come to systematize the knowledge that has been gained in order to produce guidance. The Ergonomics of Tactile and Haptic Interactions symposium provides an analysis of some of the complexities of...conference paper 2006

Pasman, W. (author), Lindenberg, J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Smart environments, ambient intelligence and intelligent agents leave the user lost between large amounts of services. Ad-hoc networks, mobile agents and mobile devices make the set of available services dynamic over time and space, increasing the users problems to find the service he needs. Earlier, we presented a ServiceMatcher that can find...article 2006

van der Kleij, R. (author), Paashuis, R.M. (author), Schraagen, J.M.C. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)This paper examines team work over time in video-mediated non-collocated and traditional face-to-face same-room teams. In a longitudinal between-groups design, 22 three-person teams were tested in 4 1-h test sessions at 2-week intervals. A paper-folding task was designed for the experiment that had the potential to induce differences in team...article 2005

Visser, B. (author), de Looze, M.P. (author), de Graaff, M.P. (author), van Dieën, J.H. (author)The objective of the present study was to gain insight into the effects of precision demands and mental pressure on the load of the upper extremity. Two computer mouse tasks were used: an aiming and a tracking task. Upper extremity loading was operationalized as the myo-electric activity of the wrist flexor and extensor and of the trapezius...article 2004
