Abstract
This manuscript proposes a long arrow mouse cursor for making users perceive a sense of self-ownership. A long arrow mouse cursor is a designed mouse cursor represented by a long arrow that starts closely at your body and ends to a target on the computer screen. A sense of self-ownership is a feeling of belonging to one's body and has the potential for making user interface more natural and intuitive. This manuscript evaluates an influence of our basic idea of a long arrow mouse cursor and visibility of the hand on a sense of self-ownership as well as performance of mouse manipulation. This manuscript conducts an experiment with a simple clicking task to evaluate the long arrow mouse cursor. The result shows that a long arrow mouse cursor and visibility of the hand have a significant impact on a sense of self-ownership.
