Abstract
The purpose of this study is to construct a new pointing movement model considering the effect of target position. A pointing movement experiment was designed and carried out, and the pointing movement characteristics when human upper limb touched the targets on front board are studied. The result shows that the starting point position and target position greatly affect the movement time. A new pointing movement model is built, in which the effect of target position is introduced. The new model obtains higher contribution value and could describe the data better than the conventional models.
