overcomming disability
I was fortunate enough when working for BT to have the chance to work with a person from the disability dept.Ever heard of a POSSUM? no not the animal the aid to the disabled? no
At the time it was an amazing bit of kit. On a wall BT had put up a display like a chessboard. But in every square it worked different things, such as putting on a TV or answering the door.
If the disabled in a wheelchair could only move a hand or finger, by tapping a key on the chair it lit up and a square and moved the light to the appropriate square. then a quick double tap reacted that square and what that square represented worked
It as was used by those who could only suck or blow into a tube. Same principle and to be honest I never even thought that anything like that had even been thought of let alone made and out there to be used
