Additional information
<20> We introduce new haptic assistive techniques that exploit the concept of a virtual plane used in conjunction with a three degrees-of-freedom haptic feedback device. Previous methods were limited by the restrictions of two degrees-of-freedom devices, suffered from target distractions and often were tested only on simple interface layouts. We show improvements in interaction rates for densely populated and realistic user interfaces, and distracters are no longer a limiting factor. A user-study showed that these techniques improve computer access for people with motion-impairments. They can be applied to any Windows software.
