This paper presents and analyses the most widely used human motor performance metric extensions based on Fitts law. The aim is to aid the derivation of a unified and standardised metric for measuring and quantifying motor task performance; commonly seen in robotic teleoperation and VR-based interactions in full 3D space entailing varying degrees of freedom.
