Interactive Movement Canvas

Move your mouse inside the surface below to draw your trajectory:

2. How Pointer Events Are Counted

The browser listens for pointermove DOM events. On each event cycle, the script calculates the incremental displacement vector (Δx, Δy) and computes the step distance using the Pythagorean distance formula (√(Δx² + Δy²)).

3. Browser Pixels vs Hardware Sensor Counts

Screen pixel travel is constrained by your display resolution and Windows pointer speed setting. If you have a high-DPI mouse moving across a 1080p monitor, the cursor stops accumulating distance when it hits the screen border, whereas raw hardware sensor pulses would continue indefinitely.

FAQ

Movement Counter FAQ

Common questions about tracking pointer motion in a web browser.

Does the movement counter record my raw mouse sensor counts?
No. The browser records logical screen pixel coordinates and pointer event packets delivered by the operating system, not the raw unscaled optical counts inside the mouse hardware.
Why does the counter pause when my cursor leaves the arena?
The interactive arena is bound to standard Pointer Events. When the cursor moves outside the box, tracking pauses until you move back in.
