Desktop applications are more and more sophisticated. Often, the user needs several degrees of freedom to accomplish his task. One solution is to provide two independent cursors for some types of interactions but this solution is mainly used in two-hands interactions. The objective of this paper is "one user, one hand, two cursors". We propose the TrackMouse, a multimodal input device for interactive applications based on the simultaneous use of two cursors. It is an evolution of the Logitech force feedback mouse by adding a trackball to offer the degrees of freedom needed to control the second cursor. To manage the TrackMouse, an API for Windows XP is described too. Thus, a sample of application shows some new possible interactions.
