Gravity Controls for Windows

Description

Gravity Controls is a concept that tries to make the controls of Microsoft Windows ”magnetic”. This means that the cursor is automatically attracted by controls in range, which should increase the accessibility of computers for people that have problems to control the cursor. At the same time Gravity Controls will not only increase the accessibility of standard input devices but also ease the use of alternative input devices like Head- or Eyetrackers. Every shaking of the user has negative effects on the cursor while using those input devices. Above all it is extremely difficult to select small controls. Therefore Gravity Controls would significantly increase the accuracy while controlling the cursor with alternative input devices.
