The intention of this project was to create an alternative peripheral device to fit the needs of those with dexterity issues or other similar limitations. Using a computer is an essential part of many people’s lives, especially in this day and age where computer use is essential in almost every aspect. However, for those with physical or neurological limitations, this process becomes much more difficult, as conventional peripherals such as mice or keyboards do not take these intricacies into consideration. Currently, 13% of the United States has some sort of disability, and by 2050, the world’s population of people aged 60 or older will be double of the current 1.1 billion people. With the market lacking a pragmatic and practical solution, his project aims to solve this problem by creating an affordable peripheral device with an alternative method of input to aid those who find it difficult to use traditional peripheral devices.
