Notes: A review of the literature has shown that most investigations of head-tracking performance have used symmetrically shaped targets. This paper identifies a problem in using circular targets to represent the movement of complex targets (i.e. targets giving directional cues). Two experiments investigated the effects of a target direction cue on head-tracking performance. The results suggest caution when performance data obtained with a symmetrical target are generalized to predict tracking performance with a real target giving cues to the direction of movement. The look-ahead trace offers a systematic means of bridging the gap between a symmetrical target and a real target having direction of movements cues.Related records: En: Ergonomics. - London [etc.]. - Vol. 43 nº 3, March 2000 ; p. 360-376Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Movimiento Aparato locomotor Lesiones articulares Biomecánica Otros autores: Griffin, M.J.
