Proof-of-Concept Prototype

Frank Potter, one of our testers, turning on the light using voice commands only. The prototype was mounted on Frank's chair for this test.
The proof-of-Concept Prototye seen here was completed in April, 2003. There were four testers, two with Cerebral Palsy and two with Spinal Cord Injuries. All were able to complete all the tasks, which included opening a door, opening a refrigerator and taking out a container, pushing elevator buttons, operating a light switch, opening a drawer and taking out an object, and retrieving an object from the floor.
Mardey Sipe (see letter), another tester, picking up a mug using voice commands only. The prototype was mounted on Mardey's chair for this test.
