Nonprofit seeks new technology for people with disabilities
December 18th, 2008From the New York Times:
Project:Possibility, a nonprofit corporation centered at the University of Southern California, is working to encourage new technology that could help people with disabilities expand their capabilities.
Among the projects they’re working on: a program that would allow shoppers with impaired vision to point cellphones at supermarket shelves and hear descriptions of products and prices. Another would allow a person to guide a computer mouse using brain waves and eye movements.
The group plans to create a worldwide open-source Web site on which software developers can collaborate with people with disabilities on new ideas and add to existing programs.
