ABSTRACT
We investigate bivariate pointing in light of the recent progress in the modeling of univariate pointing. Unlike previous studies, we focus on the effect of target shape (width and height ratio) on pointing performance, particularly when such a ratio is between 1 and 2. Results showed unequal impact of amplitude and directional constraints, with the former dominating the latter. Investigating models based on the notion of weighted Lp norm, we found that our empirical findings were best captured by an Euclidean model with one free weight. This model significantly outperforms the best model to date.

Speed-accuracy tradeoff in Fitts' law tasks: on the equivalency of actual and nominal pointing precision
Special issue: Fitts law 50 years later: Applications and contributions from human-computer interactionPointing tasks in human-computer interaction obey certain speed-accuracy tradeoff rules. In general, the more accurate the task to be accomplished, the longer it takes and vice versa. Fitts' law models the speed-accuracy tradeoff effect in pointing as ...
