Human Performance with Multiple Devices Influencing a Single Cursor
Stephen Hughes, Cody Bardell, J. Ben Schafer · Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 2013
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.
