Southwell's article is a step by step description of the features of this simulator, showing how to "cut" the photo of a calculator into several areas corresponding to the keys and to the digits, and how to simulate the behavior of a real calculator when the user presses the keys on the screen.  On a computer without a touch-screen display the user must use the mouse to click the keys.  On an iPad or tablet, the user simply presses the keys on the screen.  Way cool!
