Very nice! Can I ask what you used to create the lines and/or follow the cursor?

Thanks! ) This is my java applet.
You can take it here: dl.dropbox.com/u/684632/mousepath.exe.zip (PC) dl.dropbox.com/u/684632/mousepath.jar (Mac). Run it and leave in background. "S" - save image. "R" - restart.UPD: New version of MousePath app just released. Now it's called IOGraph. Grab it here iographica.com/

good idea
Jon Ragnarsson (41 months ago | reply)
Great little app... too bad it doesn't work on multi-monitor setup
bobisbob (41 months ago | reply)
Judging from that, Photoshop really needs good keyboard shortcuts for switching layers.
Soliz Photography (41 months ago | reply)
Wonderful little app.
Though it dislikes Dual monitor and tends to eat up resources :(
I will have to give it a try when it is a Friday.

Awesome App! Check out my path: turtlethink.com/2010/01/my-mouse-path/
Great work, Anatoly!
mikepaktinat (41 months ago | reply)
Very neat. Do you have code available? I'd be interested in getting it to work on multiple monitors.
Soliz Photography (41 months ago | reply)
3hrs of Illustrator :)

Hey man, how did you remove the white from the image? That's cool.
Soliz Photography (41 months ago | reply)
If you're using Photoshop, change the top layer which is the Mouse Path layer to Multiply. This will remove the white for you.

funny too how there's such a big circle on the dock icon since ps takes forever to load up...
alexmilde (40 months ago | reply)

awesome work
i did a smiliar thing a while ago. i used a proceesing app to track the data and wrote a renderer in flash.

just start the app, and click in it to stop it. the flash renderer is included

so beautiful!

Just like to let people know the jar runs on Linux fine! Excellent little app!

@bobisbob
On a Mac, the kb shortcut is opt+[ and opt+]. The same key combination with cmd instead of opt moves layers fwd and back.
brightpisces (40 months ago | reply)
what are the circles?
milobennett (40 months ago | reply)
Now I see why my hand is numb at 5 O'clock. If I could put that many miles on my feet I wouldn't be so fat.
uberhaqer (40 months ago | reply)
@brightpisces - the circles are when you stop moving your mouse, the larger the circle the longer it is stopped.
Would be cool if it measure the distance you have moved your mouse about the screen hehe
yuri goytacaz (40 months ago | reply)
if you stop to think, there's a lot of thinking in that image. (=
Stephen De Vight (40 months ago | reply)
@uberhager look into a program called WhatPulse, it tracks (anonymously) key presses, mouse clicks, and miles your cursor has moved. It's really amazing to see that in a few months I have over a million key presses across all of my computers!

End of the day, this is a full 9hr work day.

Here's about 45 minutes of processing photos in Lightroom:

Bravo! I too would like the source - or I suppose I could reproduce it. I'd like to add some indication of typing. For example, make the colors change in proportion to WPM, making concentric rings according to typing speed :)

awesome.
tylaroverturf (40 months ago | reply)
Is there a way to increase the size of the area it covers? I have a 1920x1080 res and i would like it to cover it all.

Very cool! Unfortunately it doesn't pick up mouse movements on my 2nd monitor.
John MW Samuelson (40 months ago | reply)
This is great. I'm tracking mouse movement over the course of today...thanks.
