DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The access options for people with disabilities who rely on their hands to control an assistive device have not improved in many years. The proposed project creates a new input method for assistive devices in which the size, shape, and function of the access area are customizable to the needs and abilities of the user. To accomplish this we will use the remote control for the Nintendo Wii to track hand movements over an image palette and translate these movements into computer-control functions. This access method combines the advantages of low-tech and high-tech access techniques to create a new access method that we have named Wii-see. During this Phase 1 project, the research team will design and build a first generation prototype of Wii-see. Consumers and assistive technology professionals will evaluate this prototype so that reviewers of the Phase 2 proposal can judge the effectiveness, efficiency, and user acceptance of Wii-see as an access method. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Computers enable many people with substantial disabilities to participate in home, work, and leisure activities. The proposed research aims to reduce the physical fatigue associated with computer access so that these people can participate more fully.

描述（由申请人提供）：依靠双手控制辅助设备的残疾人的访问选择在很多年中没有改善。提出的项目创建了一种新的输入方法，用于辅助设备，其中访问区域的大小，形状和功能可根据用户的需求和能力进行自定义。为了实现这一目标，我们将使用Nintendo Wii的遥控器在图像调色板上跟踪手动运动，并将这些动作转换为计算机控制功能。这种访问方法结合了低技术和高科技访问技术的优势，以创建我们命名为Wii-See的新访问方法。在此阶段1项目中，研究团队将设计和建立Wii-See的第一代原型。消费者和辅助技术专业人员将评估该原型，以便第2阶段提案的审阅者可以判断对Wii-See作为访问方法的有效性，效率和用户接受。公共卫生相关性：计算机使许多具有实质性残疾的人能够参加家庭，工作和休闲活动。拟议的研究旨在减少与计算机访问相关的身体疲劳，以便这些人可以更全面地参与。
