Moving the joystick moves the cursor. The farther you move the joystick, the faster the cursor moves. Mouse button actiations can be made with the sip and puff swtich that is built into the joystick. Typing and other keyboard functions can be achieved through an on-screen keyboard such as WiViK 2 or morse code.
Nothing is attached to the operator, poviding complete independence.
Cursor movement is smooth and accurate. The arm is easily adjustable and it swings away if bumped. A big thanks goes to the BC Ministry of Employment and Investment, Industry Canada and the Science Council of BC for their support in the development of the Jouse.
