Design Of Augmentative Input Interface Devices For Handicapped Children
Paul Allen Williams, S. Saha, E.N. Roots · 2005
The objective of this project was to design and construct a group of input modules (input interface devices) which could be used to augment/ assist a handicapped child to function more independently. These modules will provide an optimal interface between the child and various augmentative devices (e.g., a computer or an environmental control system). Several first generation p rototypes utilizing various new input methods have been designed. Design features and considerations for t heir long term use will be presented along with future plans for the design of additional interface devices.
