Abstract
Subjects performed two-dimensional discrete movements either with a helmet-mounted sight or with a joystick. Fitts' Law was found to be a good predictor of the speed-accuracy tradeoff for both systems. The joystick produced faster movement times than the helmet-mounted sight. For both systems, horizontal and vertical movements were slightly faster than diagonal movements. Two dimensional generalizations of Fitts' Law were discussed in terms of multidimensional scaling. The obtained pattern of movement times was found to be intermediate to the predictions of Euclidean and City-block models of the movement space. Muscle coordination strategies were considered, and a strictly serial coordination model was rejected. A strictly parallel model was also rejected for the helmet-mounted sight, but not for the joystick.
