Insights from Dividing 3D Goal-Directed Movements into Meaningful Phases

A new method for analyzing 3D goal-directed movements provides more insights than existing approaches by dividing them into meaningful phases. An experiment applying a simple 3D task, resembling a standardized 2D multidirectional pointing task, yielded insights that can help researchers better identify input devices' and interaction techniques' strengths and weaknesses.
