Getting the Word Out

[quadbliss]

This is a short television spot (http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1294526675&channel=174424214) in which I participated. It aired in the San Francisco Bay Area on Sunday, November 4, 2007.

An outstanding segment, there was more in that 1 minute piece than in some of the segments on TV lately.

Have to ask, do you use a cheek switch to click?

Hi Jeff,

Yes, I use a cheek switch that I put together myself. See item 4 on this page of my website (http://quadbliss.com/home%20auto%20&%20AAC.htm) for photos. :-D

I'd seen that before just forgot about. I was thinking about that in combination with one of the eye tracking systems. At this point I'm still typing but I have a tendency to try and plan ahead :) My understanding is that the eye tracking systems use a dwell time to click which I think would irritate me. If a cheek switch or something similar could be used in conjunction it would make things quicker. I saw what I assume is a camera on your laptop. Is that an eye tracking system?

Hi Jeff,

No, that is a head pointer. it tracks a reflective dot on the brim or my hat, so that when I move my head, the cursor moves.

I could be wrong but I believe all eye tracking systems also have an 1/8 inch input jack for a mouse click switch. You can use any of the many switches available to motor impaired people. :-D
