1. Enhanced Area Cursors
We developed four enhanced area cursors, two of which utilize goal crossing and two of which utilize magnification.

2. Pointing Magnifier
The Pointing Magnifier, a refined version of one enhanced area cursor, utilized visual- and motor-space magnification to make targets easier to acquire. It runs on any Windows system as a mouse cursor replacement.

3. Angle Mouse
The Angle Mouse makes pointing more accurate for people with motor impairments by dynamically adjusting the mouse control-display gain (mouse sensitivity) as a person tries to acquire a target. The Angle Mouse observes the angles created during movement to understand how to increase and decrease the gain to make the user more accurate.
