Abstract
This paper introduces a Windows-Based Simulation Technology (WBST) to monitor user’s interaction with computer through a mouse. This design could evaluate a client’s pointing and selecting proficiency by measuring the cursor movement and motion control. The simulated Windows-based task operations require the client synthesize four basic types of mouse operating skills, including clicking, cursor moving, cursor moving and clicking, and dragging. The WBST can record the positions and responses of a mouse during any specific task. It can also rebuild the recorded results of cursor moving and motion control on the screen. The WBST not only provides the clinical professionals with more detailed information to evaluate the specific difficulties of manipulating mouse for a client, but also allows engineers to design adaptive input device for the people with special needs.
