An implementation of the no-click mouse thought experiment

• circuitlego 12y ago
  Here's a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LWpx5TRWjg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LWpx5TRWjg Note: I've decided to change what graphical feedback corresponds to which operations since then.

  It looks so confusing. Is this intended for people with disabilities (no fingers?) or just a proof of concept demo?
  • circuitlego 12y ago
    It's an extension of a proof of concept discussed in a UX class. That in turn was inspired by the work of UI/UX researchers (don't have a link handy, sorry) intending to use it for people with disabilities, yes.

  Re: use for people with disabilities and the proof of concept nature of it, I like the idea of a gesture-based on-screen keyboard (would probably be hard to implement, but worth considering). It might be difficult or less convenient to use, but accessibility is always worth expanding. Also, maybe good for people with arthritis? To reduce amount of time spent stressing joints?

  This is a great idea. Mouse-click force requirements differ between machines, and this provides an expandable solution, helpful especially for people with arthritis, for example. I think that figuring out the gestures would not be a problem at all. Really simple proof to a very important concept.
