N:------------------------------------------------------------------------- N:NPAC NeatTools and TNG Assistive Interfaces ----------------------------- N: N:1. Project Description N:Cheap sensors and sophisticated linkage software aimed at those with severe N:muscular deficiencies. Initially tested on bright paraplegic high school student who N:could only move cheek muscles and used to access web-based education. Software N:has visual interface to allow customization of interface for individual users N: N:2. PACI relevance of the project (how it relates to PACI goals/strategies) N:Relevant for making PACI material universally accessible to a small but N:important disabled community N: N:3. Potential audience or user base N:Users with muscular deficiencies N: N:4. Partnership links both internal (AT/ET/EOT) and external; can include N:potential "targets of opportunity" for partnership N:Working with Trace Center N: N:5. Diversity and universal access issues N:Core UA technology N: N:6. Barriers (with technology or other areas) N:Not clear that we can or should support deployment N: N:7. Status of project (i.e. planning, development, production) N:Funding from NSF(expected) and NEC Foundation to extend Syracuse experiments to N:four other metropolitan centers N: N:8. Dissemination avenues - contributions to the literature (i.e. reviewed N:journals, conference presentations, etc.) N:Many well received conference presentations. Some papers.
