Human-computer interaction

a law predicting that the time to move a pointer through a constrained path grows with the path length divided by its width.

In human-computer interaction, steering law refers to a law predicting that the time to move a pointer through a constrained path grows with the path length divided by its width. This meaning comes from Accot (1997) in Proceedings of the ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human factors in computing systems.[1]
