Abstract

This is to propose a demo and poster about a tool designed to assist persons who are temporarily or permanently unable to reliably operate the buttons of a physical pointing device, for example because of tenosynovitis (TSV). It monitors a dedicated muscle of the user and emulates a click event at the current position of the mouse pointer in response to a contraction of that muscle (as small as raising the eyebrow). The ClickType (= type of the click) - left, right, single, double, drag - is selected by the user (who is also responsible for moving the mouse pointer) and stays valid until the selection of a new one.
