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.

这项研究的目标是开发和测试a）无绳光 笔和软件为计算机访问商业软件的访问 个人无法使用键盘，b）相应的接口 允许医疗保健提供者，教师，父母， 用户适应界面以适合用户的能力和需求。 它 假设由此产生的遥控器访问计算机 不使用双手（触手可及）系统将提高用户速度，访问 商业上可用的软件，易于访问，从而间接 增强认知能力的发展，医疗保健质量，沟通， 教育和独立生活技能。 还假设 授权系统将为参加 负责开处方和适应此类的医疗保健提供者 设备。 为了检验这些假设，a）在 阶段将被微型化，b）在I期中证明的软件 允许创建自定义键盘并控制商业软件 将进一步开发，c）将进行一系列用户测试 为系统的设计改进和经验测试 效力。
