Hardware

 

1) Half QWERTY Keyboard 

One-handed touch typing with either hand, as well as standard two-handed typing.

Matias Corporation's Half-QWERTY keyboard allows for fast one-handed touch typing with either hand, as well as standard two-handed typing. To type with Half-QWERTY you place your hand on the keyboard, where it would normally be if you were touch typing. For letters of the other hand, simply hold down the space bar and do the finger movement the other hand would have done. Tapping the space bar still types a space.

 

2) Tracker One

Tracker One is a truly revolutionary head pointing device. Tracker One makes computer access even easier. It operates from the USB port of your computer or compatible AAC device and gives you the freedom to be completely mobile without need of battery packs or power adapters. Tracker One incorporates all the dependability and function you trust from Tracker 2000 but has simplified your connection options.

Disabilities addressed Tracker was developed to give mouse control to people with Quadriplegia, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, ALS, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and any other disability where the user has little or no control of their hands to use a standard mouse.

 

3) IntelliTools 

  IntelliTools has created a keyboard that’s flexible enough to meet a wide variety of access and learning needs. Unlike the keyboard normally attached to the computer, the IntelliKeys look and functionality is changeable by sliding in different overlays. The IntelliKeys keyboard comes with six standard overlays plus a setup overlay, that are ready to use with any word processing program or software that has keyboard input. You can also use IntelliKeys with a growing number of commercial software programs made by IntelliTools and other publishers. Each of these programs come with their own custom printed overlays that work automatically when you load the software.



4) Headmaster

Head-Controlled Alternative Mouse

Headmaster is a hardware device, consisting of a sensor unit, which is placed on top of the monitor and plugs into the computer’s mouse port, and a headset, which is connected to the sensor unit by a cable. Once the user puts on the headset, nodding and shaking the head cause the onscreen cursor to move up and down or left and right. Clicking can be accomplished and with a built-in breath operated switch, or with another external switch.
