It could further aid designers to create new graphical user interfaces and interaction techniques that are optimized for accuracy, efficiency, and ease of use. Previous research has explored the modeling of endpoint distribution outside of virtual reality (VR) systems that have shown to be useful in predicting selection accuracy and guide the design of new interactive techniques. This work aims at developing an endpoint distribution of selection tasks for VR systems which has resulted in\n            <jats:italic>EDModel<\/jats:italic>\n            , a novel model that can be used to predict endpoint distribution of pointing selection tasks in VR environments. The development of EDModel is based on two users studies that have explored how factors such as target size, movement amplitude, and target depth affect the endpoint distribution. The model is built from the collected data and its generalizability is subsequently tested in complex scenarios with more relaxed conditions. Three applications of EDModel inspired by previous research are evaluated to show the broad applicability and usefulness of the model: correcting the bias in Fitts's law, predicting selection accuracy, and enhancing pointing selection techniques. Overall, EDModel can achieve high prediction accuracy and can be adapted to different types of applications in VR.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3355089.3356544","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,8]],"date-time":"2019-11-08T20:27:58Z","timestamp":1573244878000},"page":"1-13","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":79,"title":["Modeling endpoint distribution of pointing selection tasks in virtual reality environments"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Difeng","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Melbourne, Australia and Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hai-Ning","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xueshi","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaixuan","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barrett","family":"Ens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash University, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_2_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/MCG.2009.117"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cag.2012.12.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/3290605.3300331"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/2470654.2466181"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/3290605.3300437"},{"key":"e_1_2_2_6_1","volume-title":"Tsitsiklis","author":"Bertsekas Dimitri P.","year":"2002","unstructured":"Dimitri P.
