Abstract

This research aims to investigate whether there are common input devices that are more effective than a standard mouse for Malaysian computer users with motor impairment. The tasks range from very controlled Simple Reaction Time (SRT) tasks to Fitts' Law and browsing tasks. There are several potential contributions of the research beyond finding the input device that is more effective than a mouse: 1) The Fitts' Law model and information architecture for people with motor impairment and 2) the relationship between subjective and objective measures in highly controlled as well as naturalistic tasks.
