Pointing Magnifier 3 v3.2.2 A free cursor replacement designed to reduce the need for fine motor control. Created by: Jacob O. Wobbrock, Ph.D. Leah Findlater, Ph.D. Alexis Hiniker, Ph.D. Alex Jansen University of Washington It is also useful in getting a close look at any region of the screen without losing the surrounding context, which has been useful to graphic designers and people with low vision. With the Pointing Magnifier, the usual mouse cursor is replaced by a semi-transparent circular "area cursor." When the user clicks, the area beneath this circular cursor becomes magnified, as if a lens. Once magnified, the typical mouse cursor arrow appears within the magnified lens, allowing for normal mouse operations, but now on much larger targets.  The Pointing Magnifier supports all button-based actions: clicking, double-clicking, right-clicking, dragging, and button dwelling, both on the cursor itself and within its magnified lens. It does not trigger mouse movement-based events—mouse over, mouse hover, mouse enter, or mouse leave—due to technical limitations.  In version 3 of the Pointing Magnifier, the lens itself can be dragged. It can also be nudged with the arrow keys. In addition, it contains support for multi-monitor displays. The original Pointing Magnifier was developed in 2010-2011 by Alex Jansen, with lead designer Leah Findlater and supervised by Jacob O. Wobbrock. More than a decade later, numerous feature requests and design improvements have resulted in the creation of the Pointing Magnifier 3 by Jacob O. Wobbrock, with help from Alexis Hiniker. As of version 2, the Pointing Magnifier is a complete rebuild containing no code from version 1. See what's new. Comparison to Windows Magnifier How does the Pointing Magnifier compare to the built-in Windows Magnifier? Windows Magnifier has three modes: lens, docked, and full screen. All three are primarily directed towards people with low vision, as they each make some or all of the screen larger. But they do not make pointing at on-screen targets any easier. In technical terms, the Windows Magnifier magnifies the visual space of the screen, but not the motor space in which the user moves. So on-screen targets are the same size as they always were, even if they look bigger. With the Pointing Magnifier, both the visual space and the motor space are magnified, making on-screen targets not only look bigger to the eye, but feel bigger to the hand. This feature makes pointing at on-screen targets much easier with the Pointing Magnifier.  Publications: Jansen, A., Findlater, L. and Wobbrock, J.O. (2011).
