Internet Access for the Disabled
Imagine no longer having the ability to access the computer due to a disability caused by an accident or disease. We take things for granted such as the ease of using a computer mouse or keyboard.
Technology provides more ways for the disabled to surf the Internet, and in this case with their nose! Instead of using a mouse they use a Nouse! Yes, you read that correctly, it’s not a typo.
Technology referred to as perceptual vision interface enables the software to recognize vision cues. It’s an interesting opportunity for those who lost the freedom of life on the Internet to potentially gain it back if they are disabled. Isn’t it wonderful that they have developed this as an option for the disabled!
