We present a controlled, quantitative study with 12 participants comparinginteraction with a haptically enhanced mixing board against interaction with amouse in an abstract task that is motivated by several practical parameterspace exploration settings.  The study participants received 24 sets of one to eight integer valuesbetween 0 and 127, which they had to match by making adjustments with physicalor graphical sliders. Based on recorded slider motion path data, we developedan analysis algorithm that identifies and measures different types of activityintervals, including error time moving irrelevant sliders and end time inbreaks after completing each trial item. Our results showed a significantincrease in speed of the mixing board interaction accompanied by reducedperceived cognitive load when compared with the traditional mouse-based GUIinteraction. The gains in speed are largely due to the improved times requiredfor the hand to reach for the first slider (acquisition time) and also whenmoving between different ones, while the actual time spent manipulatingrelevant sliders is very similar for either input device. These results agreestrongly with qualitative predictions from Fitts' Law that the larger targetsafforded by the mixer handles contributed to its faster performance. Forfurther investigation, we computed a measure of motion simultaneity based onvelocity correlation, which allowed to identify types of items for whichincreased simultaneous adjustments occur.  For continuous parameter space exploration our findings suggest that mixingboards are a good option to provide detailed multi-value control. The strengthsof this input method particularly show in settings where screen space isprecious and undisrupted visual focus is crucial.
