Thermodynamic Human-Computer Interaction
Traditional human-computer interaction models rely on domain-specific techniques to model target prediction; models designed for cursor interaction prediction fail to generalize to mobile interfaces and vice versa. We introduce a unifying framework grounded in thermodynamics, proposing that human interaction is composed of phases in thermodynamic equilibrium and non-equilibrium. To demonstrate this, we derive Fitts' law and the proposed target prediction model from equilibrium thermodynamics by
