== Tooltip-on-click == | |||
This mode shows the tooltip when the user interacts with a pickable animation. The result is they get positive confirmation of the new value of the control, during and after making a change. This helps with many controls where the panel text is illegible, or the control orientation is ambiguous - e.g. overhead panel switches with a tri-state, at a 'skewed' angle to the user. For knobs and sliders the feedback is useful in being able to quickly move to a precise value. | |||
== Other Uses == | |||
Once the basic system is setup, we can investigate using the mechanism to further improve in-cockpit learnability and usability. In particular, tooltips could potentially be shown via the tutorial system in a sticky mode, guiding the user to the location and meaning of a cockpit control which requires interaction. | |||
