For the complete methodology used in the data collection, please refer to the paper.

We used a repeated measures within-subject design with Pointing Style (accurate or casual) and Focus (focused or distracted) as independent variables (IV).

We asked participants to "point as accurately and precisely as possible" for the accurate pointing condition. In contrast, in the casual pointing condition participants were instructed to "point as casually and relaxed as possible...".

The distracted condition involved participants completing a Stroop effect test while pointing to targets, while the focused condition had pointing as the primary and only task.
