• Simulation of Motor Impairment in Head-Controlled Pointer Fitts' Law Task

  Syed Asad Rizvi, Ella Tuson, Breanna Desrochers, John Magee · 2018 · Proceedings of the 20th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '18)

  This poster paper proposes simulating motor impairments in a head-controlled mouse pointer system (Camera Mouse) to address the challenge that participants with motor impairments are not always available for accessibility research or software development testing. The Camera…

• Goal Crossing with Mice and Trackballs for People with Motor Impairments: Performance, Submovements, and Design Directions

  Jacob O. Wobbrock, Krzysztof Z. Gajos · 2008 · ASSETS '08: Proceedings of the 10th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

  This study investigates whether goal crossing—an input technique where users move through a target boundary rather than clicking within it—can benefit people with motor impairments. The research compares crossing performance against traditional area pointing using a rigorous…

• Slipping and drifting: using older users to uncover pen-based target acquisition difficulties

  Karyn A. Moffatt, Joanna McGrenere · 2007 · Proceedings of the 9th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '07)

  Moffatt and McGrenere present an empirical study at the University of British Columbia investigating the underlying causes of pen-based target acquisition difficulty on a Tablet PC, with explicit attention to how age affects targeting ability. Thirty-six right-handed…

• A comparison of area pointing and goal crossing for people with and without motor impairments

  Jacob O. Wobbrock, Krzysztof Z. Gajos · 2007 · Proceedings of the 9th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS '07)

  Wobbrock and Gajos at the University of Washington present a controlled study comparing two fundamentally different target-acquisition paradigms — conventional area pointing (move into a confined region and click) and goal crossing (sweep the cursor across a goal line, no click…

• Barrier pointing: using physical edges to assist target acquisition on mobile device touch screens

  Jon Froehlich, Jacob O. Wobbrock, Shaun K. Kane · 2007 · Proceedings of the 9th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '07)

  Froehlich, Wobbrock and Kane propose barrier pointing: a set of stylus-based target acquisition techniques that exploit the raised physical edge of a mobile touch screen to stabilise input for users with motor impairments. Standard touch-screen tapping requires a user to fly the…

• Accuracy and Frequency Analysis of MultiTouch Interfaces for Individuals with Parkinsonian and Essential Hand Tremor

  Eric J. Frett, Kenneth E. Barner · 2005 · Proceedings of the 7th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility (Assets '05)

  This 2005 study from the University of Delaware compares four computer pointing devices — an optical mouse, optical trackball, isotonic joystick, and a FingerWorks MultiTouch Surface (MTS) — for users with Parkinsonian tremor and essential tremor. The researchers recruited five…
