One-handed keyboards offer advantages in specific scenarios. This study provides essential anthropometric data and design principles for creating effective one-handed functional and chordic keyboards.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Ergonomics
  • Keyboard Design

Background:

  • One-handed input devices can provide significant benefits in various contexts.
  • There is a lack of fundamental anthropometric data and design guidelines for one-handed keyboards.
  • This deficiency hinders the development of efficient and ergonomic one-handed input solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the scarcity of anthropometric data for one-handed keyboard design.
  • To establish foundational design principles for functional and chordic one-handed keyboards.
  • To support designers in creating improved one-handed input devices.

Main Methods:

  • Collection and analysis of anthropometric data relevant to one-handed operation.
  • Development of design principles based on ergonomic considerations and user needs.
