Re:Ask HN: Assistive Devices for recently quadriplegic dad on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @01:00PM (#14605611)
Sorry to hear about your family's situation, but hopefully he's able to get back to work soon.

Tecla is great you should give it a try. Depending on his comfort and ability a head tracking mouse from Orin is pricey but works really well with a laptop/desktop setup. Dragon Naturally speaking is useful too.

Also he should make an appointment with a local assistive technology practitioner soon to get a run down of all the options, both low and high tech. You can find these ATP folks at most all rehab hospitals.

Good luck

Thanks for declaring your patent for continuous gesture recognition. Wouldn't want to confuse that with a normal interaction.

Thrilled that this is #1 for now. HN "Hackers" need to realize that the physical world exists beyond the console.
