Flash toolkit PowerCursor, an amazing idea, helps creating interfaces with the touch feeling. Users can experience touch feelings like roughness, volume, pressure, stickiness or mass in a graphical interface.

The software engine consists of a set of force field objects that can be added to any Flash project: holes, hills, slopes, roughs, walls, whirls, and more. 

How it works?

PowerCursor uses a technique called ‘optically simulated haptic feedback’ to evoke the tactile experience. It simply, using active cursor displacements, guides the user towards preferred positions or communicate properties of the interface to the user. Due to these cursor displacements a hole becomes an easily accessible part of the screen, whereas a bump area is hard to access.

Who can use PowerCursor?

Although skilled programmers might dive deeper into the toolkit’s API to control the PowerCursor objects on a code level, the toolkit can be used by non-programmers with basic Flash skills.
