Simulation of motor impairment with "reverse angle mouse" in a head-controlled pointer Fitts' law task

Abstract
Testing software with individuals who have differing abilities such as motor impairments allows developers to create more accessible applications. Unfortunately, these individuals are not always available to assist with research or software development testing. To help address this issue, we propose a system which simulates the difficulties demonstrated by a motor-impaired user interacting with a head-controlled mouse pointer system. Through an evaluation using a Fitts' law experiment, we compare the throughput rate in bits per second and percent error rate of our system between users with and without motor impairments.
