This paper reports a study on developing of user-friendly pointing applications for elderly and/or physically handicapped people. Mouse systems are most widely used for computer interfaces, but elderly and/or physically handicapped people often find it difficult to move a pointer smoothly, rapidly and exactly onto a particular icon shown on a monitor screen and select it by one or two quick clicks without moving the pointer. Two user-friendly pointing applications based on Visual Basic are developed to solve these problems. One is intended to assist physically handicapped people who use numeric keys as an alternative mouse because they have some difficulty in holding and moving a mouse. The other is intended to assist elderly people in moving and fixing a pointer on an icon. Both applications work well although they need some more refinement to improve user-friendliness and efficiency for practical use.
