How the mouse moves

Random interesting find of the day: IOGraphica. Here’s mine for about 7 hours at work:

Such a simple app, but such a fascinating output. An easy way to create computer generated art! Couple of observations:

  • I have a dual-monitor setup at work. I use the left monitor for email for browsing and the right monitor for code. The mouse patterns clearly reflect this usage pattern. I tend to rest the mouse roughly equally on the both the monitors.
  • I was very intrigued by the fact that most of the mouse motions are very smooth. Most curves almost look parabolic. There are very few jerks and jittery lines. Once again, nature seems poetic even in the most chaotic and random actions.
