13. January 23, 200312 Pointing Devices Position a pointer / cursor on the screen Controls drawing instruments in graphics applications Communicate commands to a program

14. January 23, 200313 Pointing Devices: Mouse Types  Mechanical  Optical  Wireless Features  Palm-sized  1 or 2 buttons  Wheel

15. January 23, 200314 The First Mouse Doug Engelbart invented the computer mouse in 1963-64 as part of an experiment to find better ways to point and click on a display screen. It was made in a shop at SRI. The casing was carved out of wood. The mouse had only one button - that was all there was room for. Invented by Doug Englebart at SRI, 1963/4

16. January 23, 200315 The First Mouse Invented by Doug Englebart at SRI, 1963/4 Two wheels mounted perpendicularly to each other in the mouse's underbelly tracked the X- Y motion. The mouse was patented in 1970 as an "X-Y Position Indicator."

17. January 23, 200316 Early Workstation – Circa 1967 Close-up of first production model of the mouse 1967, this model made of plastic casing with metal underbelly, same wheel design, now with three buttons.

18. January 23, 200317 Keyset, Mouse and Keyboard: Circa 1968 A 1968 mouse-keyset combination installed on an ergonomic keyboard-console. This is the first production model of the mouse with plastic casing and metal underbelly, and with three buttons. This setup was used for the famous "mother of all demos" during the 1968 Fall Joint Computer Conference and included a tilt-swivel office chair. The assembly was custom-made by the Herman Miller furniture company.

25. January 23, 200324 Source Data Automation Special equipment to collect data at the source Sent directly to a computer Avoids need to key data Related input areas  Magnetic-Ink Character Recognition  Scanners  Optical recognition devices  Voice

26. January 23, 200325 MICR: Magnetic-Ink Character Recognition Read characters made of magnetic particles Numbers on the bottom of checks MICR inscriber – adds characters to check that show amount cashed

27. January 23, 200326 Optical Scanners Optical recognition Light beam scans input data Most common type of source input Document imaging – converts paper documents to electronic form Converts snapshots into images Converts scanned image of text into characters – OCR Exact computer-produced replica of original Exact computer-produced replica of original

28. January 23, 200327 Types of Scanners Flatbed  One sheet at a time  Scans bound documents Sheetfeed  Motorized rollers  Sheet moves across scanning head  Small, convenient size  Less versatile than flatbed  Prone to errors

29. January 23, 200328 Types of Scanners Handheld  Least expensive  Least accurate  Portable  User must move the scanner in a straight line at a fixed rate  Wide document causes problems
