About

FittsStudy is for conducting and analyzing pointing studies in accordance with established international and academic standards. Beyond supporting manipulation of A and W, it also supports manipulation of MT with a metronome. Both 1-D and 2-D pointing tasks are supported based on ISO 9241-9. Other features include automatic calculation of models and measures, exporting results to spreadsheets, and a tool for visual exploration of trials.
