Adaptive Cursor
Also known as: Adaptive Navigation Cursor
A cursor or navigation pointer whose speed, sensitivity, or behavior dynamically adjusts based on context such as the amount of content, the current navigation granularity, or user preferences. In text editing for blind users, an adaptive cursor might move more slowly through short text segments for precision and faster through longer documents for efficiency. This adaptive behavior reduces the cognitive burden of manual speed adjustment and helps users maintain orientation within content.
