Abstract

The goal of this study is to better understand how collaborative influence upon a single cursor may impact the performance of simple tasks like movement and selection. Two techniques for combining input from multiple devices are compared to an individual controller using a Fitts's selection task. The results suggest that it is possible for multiple users to collaboratively move a single pointer without significant degradation in performance.
