Computer implementation of shape grammars
- Just as there are symbolic thinkers, people who think mainly in terms of letters and numbers and other symbols, and visual thinkers, people who think primarily in terms of shapes and colors and spatial relationships, there can be symbolic computations and visual computations. Clearly, symbolic compu

ABSTRACT PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF A SEMI-AUTONOMOUS ROBOTIC WHEELCHAIR DIRECTED THROUGH ELECTRODES
- Many people with disabilities do not have the dexterity necessary to control a joystick on an electric wheelchair. Our system allows a semiautonomous robotic wheelchair to be commanded by head and eye movement using electrodes placed around the eyes. Once the user issues a high level command such as

The camera mouse: Preliminary investigation of automated visual tracking for computer access
- A system has been developed that uses a camera to visually track the tip of the nose or the tip of a finger or some other selected feature of the body and moves the mouse pointer on the screen accordingly. People without disabilities quickly learn to use the system to spell out messages or play game

Driver performance using single switch scanning with a powered wheelchair: robotic assisted control versus traditional control
- Single switch scanning is the access method of last resort for powered wheelchairs, primarily because drift is a significant problem. To correct a drift to the left or the right, the user must stop going forward, wait for the scanning device to get to the arrow for the direction of choice, click to

The Camera Mouse: Visual Tracking of Body Features to Provide Computer Access for People with Severe Disabilities
- The "Camera Mouse" system has been developed to provide computer access for people with severe disabilities. The system tracks the computer user's movements with a video camera and translates them into the movements of the mouse pointer on the screen. Body features such as the tip of the user's nose

Experiments with a Camera-Based Human-Computer Interface System
- A human-computer interface (HCI) system called “The Camera Mouse ” is evaluated. It tracks a user’s movements with a video camera and translates them to movements of the mouse pointer on the screen [1]. The main objectives for the experimentation were to quantitatively define the performance of the

The Effect of Assistive Technology on Educational Costs: Two Case Studies
- Abstract. Until recently children with very profound disabilities–children who cannot speak and can move only their eyes or head–could be made comfortable, but by and large could not be educated. Assistive technologies now enable them to communicate and to be educated alongside their non-disabled pe

Communication via Eye Blinks - Detection and Duration Analysis in Real Time
- A method for a real-time vision system that automatically detects a user's eye blinks and accurately measures their durations is introduced. The system is intended to provide an alternate input modaltry to allow people with severe disabilities to access a computer. Voluntary long blinks trigger mou
