A control theoretic alternative to Fitts’ Law based on a modified crossover model is proposed. A physical interpretation of the model offers the unification of various different formulations of Fitts’ Law. Model identification and validation is carried out for a target acquisition task using a touchscreen. A brief treatment of noise generated by random relative movement between the human operator and the touchscreen (such as in-vehicle touchscreen based devices) is considered using the proposed model.
