Issues on evaluating the usability of a pen-tablet system using server-based computing.
The purpose of this study is to define the issues in evaluating the usability of pen-tablet systems (PTS) with server-based computing (SBC) in hospital settings. For five subjects with PTS operation, we measured the delay of drawing under SBC environments and compared it with the results of questionnaires from subjects. It was found that the relation of the usability with the drawing velocity and the delay is the crucial issue for a further study.
