Adapting Fitts’ Law to Incorporate Hardware Noise

Adapting Fitts’ Law to Incorporate Hardware Noise

• Cursor position varies over small circular distribution due to random hardware noise
• Thus cursor is a distribution, not a point
• Effective target diameter became target diameter minus hardware noise distribution (W - W0)
• modified ID is log2 [2A/(W - W0)]
