Title
The scanner at your finger tips: analysis of the effectiveness of the scan mouse device
Abstract
Scanning parts of paper-based information can be time-consuming and disrupt the user's workflow. Accordingly, we investigate the performance and usability of a computer mouse with document scanning capabilities, referred to as scan mouse. We set up a user study with 20 users scanning parts of paper documents using the scan mouse, a personal desktop scanner, shared network scanner, and the camera of an iPhone. Results show that the scan mouse is both faster and perceived as easier to use than the other devices due to the seamless integration of scanning capabilities into the established routine of handling a computer mouse.
