The purpose of this study was to determine which of three cursor control techniques would provide the best means of designating targets in three-dimensional space. The three techniques tested were a joystick, a hand tracker, and voice. The current study showed that the quickest and most accurate target designations occurred when using the hand tracker, and when targets were positioned in the front most part of the three-dimensional volume.
