Abstract :
Nowadays, there are a lot of motivations for people to use the computer. In the past decades, computer technology has seen tremendous progress. However, despite this progress, some users still have problems of accessibility to the computer. To improve accessibility, the proposed technique “Hidden Click Zone” tries to adapt the computer mouse based on the user´s needs. Problems such as slipping, double-clicking speed and accidental clicks will be reduced with HCZ technique for motor impaired users. The HCZ technique analyses the user mouse movements then based on the analysed results decide how to correct the mouse movement.
