Fitts’ Law :Input and Interaction (Interaction Design Specialization) Answers 2026

Where:

  • a=0.8a = 0.8 seconds

  • b=0.204b = 0.204 s/bit (mouse) unless stated

  • d=d = distance

  • w=w = target width


Question 1

  • d=935d = 935 px

  • w=12w = 12 px

log⁡2(935/12)=log⁡2(77.92)≈6.28\log_2(935/12) = \log_2(77.92) \approx 6.28 t=0.8+0.204×6.28t = 0.8 + 0.204 \times 6.28 t=0.8+1.28=2.08t = 0.8 + 1.28 = \mathbf{2.08}

Answer:

2.08


Question 2

  • d=67d = 67 px

  • w=22w = 22 px

log⁡2(67/22)=log⁡2(3.05)≈1.61\log_2(67/22) = \log_2(3.05) \approx 1.61 t=0.8+0.204×1.61t = 0.8 + 0.204 \times 1.61 t=0.8+0.33=1.13t = 0.8 + 0.33 = \mathbf{1.13}

Answer:

1.13


Question 3

  • d=105d = 105 px

  • w=20w = 20 px

log⁡2(105/20)=log⁡2(5.25)≈2.39\log_2(105/20) = \log_2(5.25) \approx 2.39 t=0.8+0.204×2.39t = 0.8 + 0.204 \times 2.39 t=0.8+0.49=1.29t = 0.8 + 0.49 = \mathbf{1.29}

Answer:

1.29


Question 4 (Touchpad)

  • b=0.345b = 0.345 s/bit

  • Start: (823, 41)

  • Target: (675, 312)

  • w=30w = 30 px

Distance:

d=(823−675)2+(41−312)2d = \sqrt{(823-675)^2 + (41-312)^2} d=1482+2712=95345≈308.87d = \sqrt{148^2 + 271^2} = \sqrt{95345} \approx 308.87

Apply Fitts’ Law:

log⁡2(308.87/30)=log⁡2(10.30)≈3.36\log_2(308.87/30) = \log_2(10.30) \approx 3.36 t=0.8+0.345×3.36t = 0.8 + 0.345 \times 3.36 t=0.8+1.16=1.96t = 0.8 + 1.16 = \mathbf{1.96}

Answer:

1.96
