Alternative Interface Access Protocols (AIAP) for Assistive Technology: Controlling Next Generation Technologies from Assistive Technologies
The Problem
Approach 1 - Build access into the product
Approach 2 – Provide User with a Means to Change the Interface
What is V2?
V2 Working Group Objective
V2 is exploring 4 different ways to allow the user to change the interface
#1 - Person cannot use interface on product –
#1 - Person cannot use interface on product – But has alternate keyboard they can use
#2 - Person cannot use interface on product –
#2 - Person cannot use interface on product – but has alternate interface device (like a Braille Lite, Braille Note, or Aug Com Device etc.)
#3 - Person cannot use interface on product –
#3 - Person cannot use interface on product – but has a card or device that describes their abilities OR their preferences.
#4 - Person cannot use interface on product – .
#4 - Person cannot use interface on product – but they could if new interface software could be located or created for them and loaded into the product.
