  • Unfortunately, web applications do not get to benefit from the Rule of Infinite Edges. Having the limitation of needing to run in a browser window with borders, it’s of little value according to Fitts’s Law for web designers to place buttons and links at the edges and corners unless the browser is running at full screen, which seems to only happen for kiosk applications.

  • Published in 1954, Fitts’s Law is an effective method of modeling the relationship of a very specific, yet common situation in interface design.
  • Basically, that means that the time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size of the target.
  • Although the basic message is obvious (big things are easier to select) it is the precise mathematical characterization that is exciting, and that this characterization includes a logarithmic function - which means that the shape of the relationship between size and reaction time is curved so that small increases in size for small objects make it much easier to select them
  • remember that if your link is already huge, making it “huger” will not significantly increase the speed at which one can access it. However, making tiny links a little bigger does make a difference.

  Published in 1954, Fitts’s Law is an effective method of modeling the relationship of a very specific, yet common situation in interface design. That situation involves a human-powered appendage at rest (whether it’s physical like your finger or virtual like a mouse cursor) and a target area that’s located somewhere else.

  In that spirit, I thought it would be nice to go over Fitts’s Law, a staple in the HCI diet, with a few visuals to explain both the concept and why it’s ideas are a bit more complicated than most would have you believe.
