1) Expanded System Support: AbleMouse has now been tested and verified to work on Unix (Ubuntu), iOS, and iPadOS. This means AbleMouse is fully compatible with all major operating systems: macOS, Windows, Android, Unix (Ubuntu), iOS, and iPadOS. 2) The core components of AbleMouse now have a home of their own. The 3D-printable enclosure (in STL format), designed to house an ESP32 development board along with its adapter, was generously contributed by an anonymous supporter of the project: https://github.com/aradzhabov/Ab... 3) Introducing MouseCommander. Imagine this scenario: you can control the cursor, but only in non-standard ways (for example, with your eyes) – WITHOUT a classic mouse, keyboard, or other familiar input devices. In such conditions, Windows' built-in tools turn out to be not very convenient. For instance, to move the cursor from one corner of the screen to the opposite, you still have to "drag" it along the entire path – there is no quick way to "teleport" the cursor. At the same time, the system has many useful keyboard shortcuts and auxiliary utilities that could significantly simplify the task. But how do you activate them if you can't use a keyboard or other standard input methods? MouseCommander solves this problem by bringing up a fully customizable menu, triggered by recognizing a gesture (a predefined sequence of mouse movements). The source code is simply a text file that requires no compilation. The core code enables system-level functions and extensions that facilitate rapid cursor movement by allowing the user to select a target point on a miniature preview of the screen—triggering an immediate jump to the corresponding location on the main display. It also supports instant invocation of the on-screen keyboard (OSK), crosshair-assisted targeting for improved click accuracy, and on-demand screen magnification at the point of interaction. MouseCommander is now a component of the open-source AbleMouse project, distributed under the MIT license. https://github.com/aradzhabov/Ab... P.S. The next product update will introduce the AbleMouse AI Edition. While the current AbleMouse DIY Edition supports users with complete paralysis and other severe motor impairments, the upcoming AbleMouse AI Edition is tailored for individuals who can, at a minimum, turn their head. It introduces an intelligent layer of features designed to significantly accelerate and streamline interaction.
