Personalised tiling paradigm for motor impaired users

This paper presents an investigation that was carried out to design and develop a paradigm for motor impaired users to navigate a computer screen. And also test whether the improvements obtained using tiling with Cyberlink™ can be transferred to other devices. Many motor impaired users have difficulty with mouse movements and holding the cursor at a precise position on a computer screen to highlight an icon or launch an application. This paper discusses an investigation carried out in designing and testing an accessibility program for users with motor impairment. The researcher drew motivation for this study from the previous research designing interfaces for the brain injured and using the Cyberlink™ as the assistive device. The rationale for the design is presented, along with details of its implementation
