Home care terminals - Our initial project is a Web (Java/JavaScript) version of Warner's "Neat Thing" sensory front-end, with rehabilitation and disabilities as initial application target.
  • This builds on Warner's earlier activity in VR for which he is well known
  • This allows Doctors to interact with Patients at the Home with Instruments monitoring their health
Web Interface for Disabled: In "Neat WebThing" we also build a device to allow the disabled to access the Web as we can replace Mouse/Key board input with any measurable human signal
  • Customize sensors used for each patient and so empower their Web access on an individual basis
As we have some of best available Web based Educational material worldwide
  • Attractive to link JavaScript based WebWisdom Virtual University with Java based Neat WebThings
  • Could revolutionize education for disabled?
