Pointing tasks, for example to select an object in an interface, constitute a significant part of human-computer interactions. This motivated several studies into techniques that facilitate the pointing task and improve its accuracy. In this paper, we introduce a number of intentionality prediction algorithms to determine the intended target a priori from partial cursor tracks. They yield notable reductions in the pointing time, aid effective selection assistance routines and enhance the overall pointing accuracy. A number of benchmark prediction models are also restated within a statistical framework and their probabilistic interpretation is utilised to calculate their corresponding outcomes. The relative performance of all considered predictors is assessed for point-click task data sets pertaining to both able-bodied and impaired users. Bayesian adaptive filtering is deployed to smooth highly perturbed mouse cursor tracks that are typically produced by motor impaired users undertaking a pointing task. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
