Abstract
Over the past decade, research related to various aspects of human-computer interactions has become increasingly prominent within the human factors field. In that regard, the speed and accuracy of human motor movements associated with computer input devices has often been modeled by Fitts’ law. However, most such analyses have not considered the angle of movement as a factor. Accordingly, the present study investigated the effects of the angle of approach for a mouse as the input device to select icon-like targets presented on a VDT. The angle of approach had a significant effect on movement time.
