CORDLESS LIGHT PEN AND INTERFACE AUTHORING SYSTEM

这项研究的目标是开发和测试a)无绳灯 提供计算机访问商业软件的笔和软件 无法使用键盘的个人，以及b)相应的接口 创作软件，允许医疗保健提供者、教师、家长、 和用户调整界面，以适应用户的能力和需求。它 假设由此产生的远程和轻松访问计算机 无需用手(触手)系统将提高用户速度，访问 商业可用的软件，从而间接地便于访问 增强认知发展、保健质量、沟通、 教育和独立生活技能。它还假设， 创作系统将为出席提供更大的灵活性 负责开处方和调整的医疗保健提供者 设备。为了验证这些假设，a)研发出的无线光笔 第一阶段将小型化，b)第一阶段至第二阶段演示的软件 允许创建自定义键盘并控制商业软件 将进一步开发，以及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。

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.
