Communication is very important to enjoy daily life. If we are unable to communicate with others it becomes impossible to enjoy daily life. Person with serious disability often have communication difficulty because of deterioration of muscle functions. Therefore, communication devices are indispensable to support lives of person with serious disability. Communication devices by push switch or touch switch are generally used by person with serious disability. Considering the deterioration of muscle functions and effectiveness of switching device, some effective pointing devices applicable to persons with difficulty are required. In this paper a pointing device for person with serious disability are proposed. This pointing device detects slight physical movements of the operator. In the field test it is confirmed that proposed pointing device is successfully increased their communication ability of the operator.
