Abstract

This paper reports on some fundamental parameters for the design of wall-based laser pointer interaction techniques. Ten users participated in this study and their laser points were tracked and recorded by a computer. The data collected were then processed and statistically analyzed to provide parameters like the size of the dwell of a laser point, the time taken to acquire a target and the time required to determine a dwell on a target. These numbers are needed when designing interaction techniques that use a laser pointer.
