Abstract
A technique is described herein that allows a user to control a user interface presentation provided by a computing device based on a force-dependent manner in which the user engages a surface of a force-sensitive input device. This manner of control allows any user to efficiently interact with the computing device, but is particularly beneficial to users who have motor-related and/or vision-related disabilities.
