The effects of task dimensionality, endpoint deviation, throughput calculation, and experiment design on pointing measures and m
Fitts’ law (1954) characterizes pointing speed-accuracy performance as throughput, whose invariance to target distances (A) and sizes (W) is known. However, it is unknown whethe...
