Multiple pointers: a study and an implementation

>This paper describes the main cases of multiple pointer interaction and proposes a new notation (named UDP/C) for classifying and comparing these systems. A technical solution that makes use of two complementary tools is presented in the second part of the paper. This implementation can support most cases of multiple pointer interaction. It is currently based on the X-Window windowing system and the Ubit toolkit.
