“…Total time = x τp + y τc + z τm (1) In this equation, x, y and z are integers and τp, τc and τm correspond to the times for single occurrences of the perceptual, cognitive and motor functions respectively. It is possible to categorize impairments along these lines of functionality.…”

“…Finally, motor impairments can create difficulties with both text entry and cursor control in a typical computer interaction scenario [1]. Symptoms such as tremor, spasm, restricted range of motion and weakened muscles can make both gross and fine motor control a challenge [1].…”

“…Cursor assistance can be in the form of adapted mouse replacement devices, such as tablets or specially designed mice/joysticks/trackballs [1]. One area of particular promise is that of haptic assistance, such as through the addition of "gravity" to onscreen targets [22].…”

Many new assistive input systems developed to meet the needs of users with functional impairments fail to make it out of the research laboratory and into regular use by the intended end users. This paper examines some of the reasons for this failure and focuses particularly on whether the developers of such systems are using the correct metrics and approaches for evaluating the functional and social attributes of the input systems they are designing. This paper further focuses on the importance of benchmarking new assistive input systems against baseline measures of useful interaction rates that take allowance of factors such as input success/recognition rate, error rate, correction effort and input time. By addressing each of these measures, a more complete understanding of whether an input system is practically and functionally acceptable can be obtained and design guidance for developers is provided.
