New Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 9241-411 : 2012 ‘Ergonomics of human-system Interaction — Part 411: Evaluation method for the design of physical input devices’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Ergonomics Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

Input devices are a means for users to enter data into interactive systems. Generally speaking, an input device is a sensor that can detect changes in user behaviour (gestures, moving fingers, etc.) and transform them into signals to be interpreted by the interactive system.

This standard provides methods for the laboratory analysis and comparison of input devices for interactive systems. It does not contain requirements for input devices, but provides the means for evaluating conformance with the requirements of ISO 9241-410 for input devices such as keyboards, mice, pucks, joysticks, trackballs, touch pads, tablets/overlays, touch-sensitive screens, and styli/light pens.
