I do recommend, for anyone who is interested in low level WIMP interaction design.... play with teleporting pointers! Not because it will ever work... it’s too weird to really use in a production system.
But just try it because it’s really an interesting experience to have your pointer move while you use it.
It turns the pointer more into a physical object on the screen.
But try it in a place it makes sense. This scroll bar is an example. I first tried it in a zoomable interface where I wanted the pointer to stay in a consistent “local position” within a window, even though the window was moving and changing size.
Just a really interesting thing for me to feel as a UI designer at the time.
