GB/T 18978.16-2018

This standard specifies ergonomic requirements for direct manipulation dialogue interfaces, such as drag-and-drop, pointing, and gesture-based interactions, used in visual display terminal (VDT) office environments. It is applied to the design and evaluation of software and hardware interfaces in office settings, including desktop computers, laptops, and touchscreen devices, to ensure user comfort, efficiency, and reduced physical strain. The standard is particularly relevant for human factors engineers and product designers developing user interfaces for office productivity tools and information systems.
