This study explored an angular movement Fitts’ law that is more suited and is more explainable the real foot tapping task than conventional foot Fitts’ law. According to our research, more than 64% of drivers used their foot in fixed the heel during driving. The experiments were conducted under the manipulation of the direction of the target’s location with angle and size of the target that can be described by θ and W. θ is the angle between the positive y-axis and the projected target location on the x-y plane. From the experimental results, we confirmed that two variables significantly affect the movement time. As we extended the index of difficulty of the conventional foot Fitts’ law model by incorporating θand W, we developed an extended foot Fitts’ law for angular foot movement. And we compared with Drury and Hoffmann’s foot Fitts’ law model, we found that it can explained better accordance with the empirical data than the conventional foot Fitts’ law model in angular foot movement task. Using this extended foot Fitts’ law we can broaden our’s outlook on foot movement and it is applicable to expand foot Fitts’ law for two to three dimensional foot Fitts’ law.
