Geeks For Access
Technology competitions are an increasingly popular way to spark innovation in areas like robotics and space exploration. Now, the concept is being used to foster development of adaptive software for people with disabilities. Project:Possibility is a nonprofit corporation that is dedicated to creating open-source software applications that address a variety of disabilities. So much of the adaptive software currently on the market is proprietary and expensive. The on-screen keyboard that I use for writing tasks retails for about $300. I'd love to see an open-source keyboard that is maintained and updated by a strong user community.
And I will gladly bequeath my life savings to the organization if they can come up with a way for me to play Fallout 3 independently.
