Re: setting pointer location

Here is an altogether different approach to solving the original measured response problem. Use a different input method.

I don't know if this program is for general distribution or for a specific center. You could either use a touchscreen or trackpad with a template. Trackpads cost less than $100 and it is easy to create an overlay for them with your 4, 5 or 6 responses. All you would have to do is create giant buttons on the screen for the choices and let the hardware handle the response times. There are companies which sell monitors with integrated touchscreens which work fine for both Mac and Windows computers.

There are also a number of laptops now on the market which include touchscreens. This is a case where it would be nice if Rev supported Palm or WinCE devices as well. I'm not a big fan of Palms and I really don't like Windows CE at all but I was a big fan of Newtons. Has anyone tried Rev applications with one of the Linux based PDA's? If so, then this might be an easy way to get something out quickly and for very little money.

If you are really worried about the measuring the response times, I think these might be better solutions than mucking about with the standard UI expectations.
