Automatically Adjusting Pointing Device Settings Enhances User Double-Click Performance

摘要

We are developing an Input Device Assistant (IDA) that automatically adjusts various input device settings to better meet a user's specific needs. As part of this system, we built and tested methods for recommending values for the Windows settings that define double-clicks. Twelve individuals with physical impairments used the IDA system to get recommendations for double-click settings that matched their abilities. Subsequent use of the IDA settings significantly enhanced subjects' speed and accuracy when double-clicking on targets with their pointing device.
