AirCursor is a camera-based alternative input tool for users who have difficulty touching the screen directly. When precise touch is difficult or the screen is out of reach due to motor function disorders such as spinal cord injury, muscle disease, upper limb amputation, or hand tremors, you can operate the entire phone using only the front camera without any additional equipment.
Raise your hand over the front camera. A cursor appears on the screen and follows your hand. Lightly touch your thumb and index finger together for a click—that is all.
A ■ Who Is This App For?
· Users with motor disabilities who find it difficult to touch the screen directly or struggle with precise touch input — It is an accessibility alternative input that replaces touch, much like a switch input.
· Users who frequently make unwanted touches due to hand tremors — You can click stably by adjusting pinch sensitivity and tap timing to suit your body.
· Users whose touch is temporarily or situationally restricted, such as when hands are wet while cooking, the device is on a stand, or they are lying down and cannot reach it, are also supported by the same features.
■ How to Use It
· Pointing — Point your palm toward the camera, and the cursor will appear and follow your hand.
· Click — Tap the spot where your thumb and index finger meet and then separate.
· Drag — Move while held together for seamless scrolling and sliding.
· Long Press — Pause briefly while held together to perform a long press.
■ On Any App
AirCursor is a system-wide cursor. You can click and scroll anywhere on the screen—the home screen, video apps, recipes, e-books, etc. A small status chip and notifications are always displayed while running, and you can stop it at any time with a single tap.
■ Tuning to Fit Your Body
Adjust cursor speed, pinch sensitivity, tap timing, and cursor size using the real-time hand recognition preview. The cursor follows your hand movements without any delay. The preview does not display camera footage; only the recognized hand shape appears. You can practice target clicking and dragging in advance on the test board.
■ How Accessibility Services Are Used
AirCursor uses the Android Accessibility Service API. It is used solely to transmit hand gestures recognized by the camera as screen touches (tap, drag, long press) and to display the cursor. It does not read screen content, and it does not collect, store, or transmit any data through accessibility features.
■ Privacy is the default
· Hand recognition is processed entirely on the device (On-device AI)
· Camera footage is neither saved nor transmitted — 0 bytes outside the device
· No sign-up, no ads
■ Required Permissions
· Camera — Hand gesture recognition (On-device processing)
· Over other apps — Display cursor and status chip
· Accessibility services — Transmit gestures to screen touches
· Notifications — Display running status and stop button
Out of reach, the phone stays put. AirCursor.
