Abstract:Pointing transfer functions remain predominantly expressed in pixels per input counts, which can generate different visual pointer behaviors with different input and output devices; we show in a first controlled experiment that even small hardware differences impact pointing performance with functions defined in this manner. We also demonstrate the applicability of "hardware-independent" transfer functions defined in physical units. We explore two methods to maintain hardware-independent pointer performance in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
