The objectives of this research are to develop and test a) a cordless light pen and software providing computer access to commercial software for individuals unable to use a keyboard, and b) corresponding interface authoring software which allows health-care providers, teachers, parents, and users to adapt the interface to fit the user's abilities and needs. It is hypothesized that the resulting Remote and Easy Access to a Computer without using Hands (REACH) system will increase user speed, access to commercially-available software, and ease of access, thereby indirectly enhancing cognitive development, quality of health care, communication, education, and independent-living skills. It is also hypothesized that the authoring system will provide increased flexibility for attending health-care providers responsible for prescribing and adapting such devices. To test these hypotheses, a) the cordless light pen developed in Phase I will be miniaturized, b) the software demonstrated in Phase I to allow creation of customized keyboards and to control commercial software will be further developed, and c) a series of user tests will be conducted to provide design improvements and empirical tests of the system's effectiveness.

本研究的目的是开发和测试a）无绳灯 笔和软件提供计算机访问商业软件， 不能使用键盘的个人，以及B）对应的接口 创作软件，允许医疗保健提供者，教师，家长， 和用户来调整界面以适合用户的能力和需求。 它 假设由此产生的对计算机的远程和轻松访问 不使用手（REACH）系统将提高用户的速度，访问 商业可用的软件，并易于访问，从而间接 提高认知发展，医疗保健质量，沟通， 教育和独立生活技能。 还假设， 创作系统将提供更大的灵活性， 保健提供者负责开处方和调整这种 装置. 为了验证这些假设，a）在1989年开发的无绳光笔 第一阶段将小型化，B）第一阶段中演示的软件， 允许创建定制键盘和控制商业软件 c）将进行一系列用户测试 提供系统的设计改进和经验测试， 有效性
