% Abstract:
% Good user-interface requires mutual understanding of intention
% between system and human. This paper proposes a new pointing
% method with target prediction from the view point of understanding
% user's intention by a system. We have proposed 5 kinds of target
% prediction methods and measured the rate of correct prediction,
% the pointing time by the new methods, and pointing error rate in
% the operation selecting icon targets on a CRT display. The result
% of evaluation tests shows that comparing the mouse operation
% methods with traditional ones, the methods are effective enough
% to decrease pointing time with mouse and to reduce workspace for
% a mouse to the quarter of the normal type mouse.

% Abstract:
% In this study, the method to predict the target which the user
% is about to point with a mouse on the basis of the trajectory of
% the mouse cursor was presented. The effects of the interval
% between targets d, the target position, the sampling interval st
% and the number of selection of targets n on the pointing time
% and the prediction accuracy were investigated. The pointing
% with no prediction mode was also conducted. The optimal
% condition of the prediction method was considered.
% Moreover, the effectiveness of the voice input in a dual task
% situation, where subjects performed the manipulation of a
% robot and the input of random ten alphabets simultaneously,
% was investigated to discuss how to make use of the voice input
% to increase performance in the human-computer interaction.
