“…The three‐dimensional mouse proficiency test uses proprietary software to assess proficiency with the use of the three‐dimensional mouse (3DxWare 10, 3Dconnexion Spacemouse, part of SpacePilot Pro device, 3Dconnexion, Boston, MA) (Figure A) . This task requires the participant to use the three‐dimensional mouse to rotate and maneuver an object in a three‐dimensional environment represented on a two‐dimensional screen (ASUS N56V laptop, Asus, Taipei, Taiwan) with a final goal of overlaying the object on a silhouette of itself (Figure B).…”

Radiological skills including ultrasonography and fluoroscopy, require a combination of manual dexterity and visuospatial skill to develop competency. The ability to detect veterinary students with an interest in radiology but who are deficient in these skills, may permit more individual adaptations to training programs, allowing for students training in radiology to achieve maximal potential. The objective of this cohort study was to investigate whether innate dexterity and visuospatial skill could be used to predict performance of basic ultrasound and fluoroscopic skills in veterinary students. Fifty veterinary students from the Ontario Veterinary College completed three tests of visuospatial ability, two tests of manual dexterity, a three-dimensional mouse task, an ultrasound skill-testing task, and a fluoroscopic skill-testing task. Students who reported chopstick use completed the non-dominant hand ultrasound task significantly faster than students who did not (P = 0.001). There was a significant positive association between scores on the Mental Rotations Test and time to complete the non-dominant hand ultrasound task (P = 0.011) and fluoroscopy task (P = 0.029). No variables were associated with time to complete the dominant hand ultrasound task. The results of this study suggest that visuospatial skill, as assessed by the Mental Rotations Test, is a better predictor of baseline ultrasound and endovascular fluoroscopy skill than dexterity, with the exception of reported chopstick use, in veterinary students. Visuospatial skills can be developed and may be useful to include in the veterinary curriculum for students that are deficient, or students entering a field such as diagnostic imaging.

“…W artykule [7] Jednym z przykładów zastosowania myszki 3D jest branża rozrywkowa, a konkretnie gry wideo. W artykule [9] wykazano iż dla osób posiadających motoryczne dysfunkcje wykorzystanie myszki 3D w grze "Second Life" upro ciło rozgrywkę względem standardowego zestawu mysz 2D i klawiatura. Badania przeprowadzono na dziesięcioosobowej grupie, połowa osób przypisana była do myszki 3D, a druga połowa do myszki 2D.…”

This article deals with the comparison of two technologies for manipulating 3D objects in terms of ease of use, ergonomics and intuitiveness. The comparison was based on the results obtained from the outcome of test tasks and questionnaires performed on the group of 15 people. Detailed research and test scenarios and additional questionnaires have been made. Each of the respondents had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the device by performing three tests in two test scenarios (one per device).

“…Still, there exist some interfaces to accomplish teleoperation tasks in a cheaper and easier way. For instance, in [30] authors evaluate the use of two different SpaceMouse (3D mouse) devices versus the traditional keyboard and mouse. This study shows how, in particular for people with motor disabilities, the participants find it more challenging to perform the tasks with the keyboard and mouse than with the 3D devices, and easier with the SpaceMouse R Compact rather than SpaceMouse R Pro version.…”

A Scalable Framework for Multi-Robot Tele-Impedance Control

In this manuscript, we present an online scalable tele-impedance framework, which enables the individual and collaborative control of multiple different robotic platforms. The framework provides an intuitive low-cost interface with visual feedback and a SpaceMouse, through which the operator can define the desired task-level trajectories and impedance profiles. With a simple SpaceMouse click, the user can switch between the robots and the collaborative operation mode. The control, subsequently, manages the distribution of the required parameters into the involved robots. Thanks to the introduced virtual hand concept where each robot is defined as a finger, new robots can be easily added or removed via their kinodynamic parameters. The proposed framework was evaluated with three different experiments: a simulated auscultation on a mock-up patient, a cooperative task where a robot drives the patient on a wheelchair and a different robot performs the auscultation, and a collaborative task where two robots relocate a container. The results demonstrate the capabilities of the framework in terms of adaptability to different robotic platforms, the number of robots involved, and the task requirements. Additionally, quantitative and subjective analysis of 12 subjects showed how the developed interface, even in the presence of inaccurate visual feedback, allowed a smooth and accurate execution of the tasks.
