Boston mechanical engineer Steve McHugh, entered a Google context and prosed a design for
an app which would allow people who use power wheelchairs to use Google
Glass to operate them. This alternative access method allows those with
more limited and less consistent physical movements to become much more
independent. Here is a link to some great Google Glass videos and demos. Google
touts Glass as an accessibility tool in new YouTube video starring
wheelchair-bound Glass wearer - Yahoo! News .
This blog focuses on success stories, ideas, supports, services and many more areas in which we can empower people with different abilities in having equal access to the world. Everyone is welcome to join in this conversation. It includes research, experience and opinion. We need to talk about these areas and continue to look at ways to do things better. We have not been doing any of this long enough to be satisfied with what we have. Complacency is not an option for anyone.
