Abstract
Fitts's law is a predictive model of human movement primarily used in human-computer interaction, ergonomics, and medical assessments. A cervical orientated assessment allows assessments of aspects of users such as injuries, concussions, impacts of equipment as well as ergonomic assessments etc. Accordingly, a three-dimensional visual target acquisition system (3D-VTAS) provides measurements based upon a cervical oriented Fitts' Law paradigm in a manner which provides for ease of use, high between-day reliability and validity based upon healthy subject's performance. The 3D-VTAS also provides increased data allowing determination/verification if there are movement trajectory or target size confounds between the measurements of a subject's performance and hence assessments of both healthy and non-healthy individuals as well as assessments of ergonomic factors etc. Accordingly, subject and ergonomic effects of movement trajectory and target size can be established in either portable or fixed systems with rapid establishment and configuration.
