Technology favoring accessibility  E-mail

Games controlled with body, no mouse or remote control. Consoles increasingly modern able to detect movements in three dimensions ... and more technology favoring the accessibility of the disabled person. 

People with impaired movement and difficulty in fine motor coordination, can make use of this technology to engage in activities with higher level of interaction with the machine. Although there are resources such as mice and keyboards adapted, high cost has prevented access for a significant number of people with these deficiencies, and also that these resources need to be designed to meet several specifications. 



In the case of technology that uses sensors that pick up movements, any movement that is in the coverage area can be identified in the execution of commands
. People who have impaired upper limb, for example, can use the head or shoulders as commands. DIFFICULTIES If they have to hold or click the mouse - this handy little technology - through movements that do not require precision, can interact efficiently, performing in simple tasks before complex. 

Children with autism can also benefit from this technology, since the number of stimuli can disrupt the level of concentration. It is common, when in front of a computer, that children with this syndrome disperse the focus: play or get lost looking for the peripherals: mouse, keyboard, monitor, showing difficulties to perform different functions while maintaining the level of concentration to task. Using the body as a controller can facilitate this process. 

In the case of computer technology that can be done through a camera that captures the coupled movements. Want to know how it works? You can test here
