TouchCursor: Virtual Keyboard & Mouse

On-screen virtual keyboard and mouse for touchscreen devices, enabling users to control their device and type using a floating cursor instead of tapping the screen directly.

What is TouchCursor?

TouchCursor is assistive technology software designed for touchscreen devices like tablets and smartphones. It provides an on-screen virtual keyboard and mouse that can be controlled through mid-air gestures, without needing to touch the screen.

The main feature of TouchCursor is the floating cursor that acts as a virtual finger. Users can move this cursor by holding their hand over the device's camera. Simple hand gestures like pinching and swiping move the cursor, allowing the user to navigate apps, type on the virtual keyboard, or click interface elements. This enables operation of touch devices without physically touching and potentially smudging the screen.

TouchCursor was created to provide an accessible user interface for those unable to effectively use touchscreens directly. This includes people with motor impairments, like Parkinson's disease or arthritis, who have difficulty tapping and swiping precisely. It also helps in situations where touching the screen is impractical, like for sanitation in medical settings or while eating with messy hands. Overall, TouchCursor aims to open up touch devices to wider accessibility and convenience.
