Title
Consolidating computer operation and wheelchair control
Abstract
The HAnds-free Mouse COntrol System HaMCoS is a software kit designed for persons with severe physical disabilities, allowing its users to fully operate a PC using intentional contractions of a single dedicated muscle only. The system's theoretical concept has originally been developed for a wheelchair control system, a revised and enhanced version of which -comprising a stand-alone realization plus a software-based simulator - has been introduced just recently. Since it is very likely that someone who needs the kind of assistance offered by HaMCoS is also obliged to use a wheelchair, the idea to interface the simulator with the computer tool really suggested itself. This demo presents the outcome of that idea. It will be shown how both systems work individually and how they interact with each other.
