A customized mouse for people with physical disabilities

Published: 25 October 2010 Publication History

Abstract

In a rapidly growing information-oriented society, people with disabilities are faced with serious inconveniences in accessing products due to the increasingly complicated use of technology-oriented but poorly designed devices. To solve these problems, we designed a customized computer input device (mouse) to be used by physically impaired people. The users performed better with the customized computer mouse than with the traditional computer mouse.
