Desktop applications are more and more sophisticated. Often, the user needs several degrees of freedom (DOF) to accomplish his tasks. One solution is to provide two independent cursors for some types of interactions but this solution is mainly used in bi-manual interactions with multiple input devices. The goal of this paper is to provide a solution to manipulate two cursors with only one hand: a method for one user, with one hand, and two cursors. By this way, the second hand can be used for other purposes. We propose a new hybrid device between a haptic mouse and a trackball to give 2+2 DOF to user. A driver solution is shown to integrate this new device in Windows XP and to give an easy access to the new affordances. An application for pilot testing was implemented and the results show a high potential for the proposed solution.
