We were recently contacted
by Paula Spencer of Switches4Kidz fame, whilst she was working
on finding ideas for engineering students, linked to technology
and accessibility. We've collated a few ideas below, which
would be fantastic to see developed.
If you have any requests,
please post them here. There's no promises that these students
will be able to fulfil your requests, but you never
know...
1. Wii Emulator for Switch users.
Although there are a number of existing modification to the
Wii-remote (http://www.gamebase.info/magazine/read/wii-mote-controllers---diy-accessibility-hacks_241.html)
- nothing presently allows a push-button to emulate swinging
the controller. It would be wonderful if there could be a way
in for the likes of Wii-Sports, for accessibility switch
users (http://www.oneswitch.org.uk/1/AGS/AGS-switch/1/switches.htm).
2. Thumb-Stick
replacement for PS3 or Xbox 360 using a user-configurable
head-tracker or eye-tracker.
3. Holy-Grail:
http://switchgaming.blogspot.com/search?q=Holy+Grail - To
find a way to get a lap-top accepting a wide range of inputs
(keyboard, mouse, joystick) and interfacing these (either by
3.5mm patch leads or something like blue-tooth) to a range of
games consoles and/or switch adapted/accessible
gadgets/toys/devices.
Kim Darby and Ellie Darby
(who we built a light Wii-remote for) from Essex asked me to
put these forward too:
a. A way for Ellie to
have better access to her lift. Presently the lift buttons
are hard to reach/depress. They wondered about an iPad /
iPhone App and/or a versatile remote interface that only
needed light presses. They use a lift supplied by http://www.axess2.co.uk/
- who are based in Lancashire, which might be very
convenient. Ellie's lift has these controls:
b. Ellie asked for
something to help her pick-up things that she drops. Current
extendable grabbing arms are too heavy for her to use
effectively.
c.
Little Havens have an outdoors train. As I understand, the
hospice would love it if the more disabled children there,
could operate the train.

Just an update. I have paseed all these ideas on to the
electronics department at York University and have a meeting next
Friday with one of the tutors and students to discuss possible
projects. Will let you know how I get on. The Music Technology
Tutor is also interested in any ideas that anyone has so please
let me know. |

My son Natty was born in 2001 but unfortunately wasn't got out in
time and suffered a cerebral bleed, a bit like having a stroke
during birth due to a lack of oxygen, this caused part of the left
side of his brain to die and cause partial paralasis down the right
hand side, right hemiplegic cerebral palsy. just before his 2nd
birthday Natty suffered his first epileptic fit, as time went on
his epilepsy got worse, sometimes to the point that the hospital
nearly had to put him into a coma to stop the fits, after lots of
telemetry and weeks of tests in london the surgeons and consultants
at Kings College hospital decided that the medication he was on
would not be able to control the fits he was having in his sleep
which at some point would cause more brain damage and/or SDiE
Sudden Death in Epilepsy, on August 2nd this year he underwent an
operation called a left Hemispherectomy, in other words
dis-connecting one side of the brain from the other and technically
stopping the epilepsy, this operation was only the 31st time this
procedure has been performed at Kings, after 4 weeks at Kings we
came home with him and he is now making amazing progress, he has
started walking a small distance and is sleeping properly now, he
is actually having dreams for the first time in his life (although
this actually freaked him out the first few nights)
the last few years we have been trying to information from Microsoft about producing a one handed controller but unfortunately with no joy, although we have found some places that produce a controller and some places that can make one specifically for Nat. we had one price from Ben Heck, $350 for a left handed controller, this is obviously alot of money for a controller, converted this is £220! more than a brand new Xbox 360! any help from any direction would be brilliant to help our little lad play the thing he loves most, his xbox! |
