Abstract
Physical assistance for identification of an input location on a touchscreen may include detecting that a user has contacted a touchscreen at an initial touch point with a pointing device, predicting an input location from one or more input locations for receiving input on the touchscreen, determining a path from the initial touch point to the predicted input location, and generating a physical cursor on the touchscreen at a location proximate to the pointing device, wherein the physical cursor is a raised portion of the touchscreen.
