Touch screens and devices such as tablets undoubtedly are great, but what they fail is that they can not be operated by people with certain disabilities. Now, a new accessory for tablets could make this possible, it is the Access4Kids.
Access4Kids is a device designed by Professor Ayanna Howard of Georgia Tech and the student Hae Won Park. This is a kind of manga that communicates wirelessly with a tablet and allows to operate the disabled who can not use your fingers to do it. At the Access4Kids seems very easy to use and works with certain physical movements made by the person, which are interpreted by the system and transmitted to the tablet.
