[comp.cog-eng] Any studies on pointing device usage?

dmc@Portia.Stanford.EDU (David M. Cannon) (03/12/89)

I hope this is the right group to ask this question of - is anyone out there
aware of any studies on mouse/pointing device usage in computer graphic
manipulation?  I have seen references comparing mice, etc with cursor keys and
such, but don't have a handle on any publications which investigate such
questions as how best to take advantage of a pointing device in an interface.   

Thanks in advance -
