Summary
In this paper, the authors discussed their work on Satelite Cursrors. Their goal was to reduce mouse movement and overall poitning time. After discussing a few previous tecfhniques that had been used before, the authors started off with the satellite cursor and how it worked. It basically uses seperate satelite cursors that are attached to every target in the area. These targets will only be allowed to selected by its indivual satellite cursor. Spacial density seemed to be another target area this paper focused on because the location of images and cursor locations will be determined dynamically.
Discussion
This article was somewhat interesting to me. I thought the concept was a little different though. I'm not really sure how applicable this could be in todays computing. This might be more applicable on larger monitors because the empty space is so vast in these. I did enjoy reading about the expirments and results found in this paper.
