21st Century Communication Board: Initial Technical Trials
We recently completed a sequence of technical trials involving our OSDPI-implemented on communication board (CB) The goals of these trials were as follows: Camera Positioning: We found that positioning the social camera as shown below provides the best view of both participants in two party conversations. This positioning also allows participants to view each other… Continue reading 21st Century Communication Board: Initial Technical Trials
21st Century Communication Board: Update on Communication Board Content and Function
We have currently developed three prototype communication displays on OSDPI. The displays and notes about their function are presented below. Option 1: This version contains only the frequently used words, alphabet, basic punctuation and a “space” button to indicate spelled word completion as desired by the user. Option 2: In addition to the “basic” message… Continue reading 21st Century Communication Board: Update on Communication Board Content and Function
Studying Talk-In-Interaction involving Augmented Speakers
To design more conversant augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, we first need to develop a better understanding of the problems complex communication needs (CCN) speakers face in their everyday life. To do that, Project Converse aims to translate insight from socio-interactional research into usable knowledge to inform future AAC technologies. In Project Converse, we… Continue reading Studying Talk-In-Interaction involving Augmented Speakers
