Video Chat 1 : Jan. 28th

Whiteboard Notes 1/29/16

Using Constraints/Supports:
– movements come from wrist, no constraining around that area.
– perhaps constraining around hand to assist with holding of stylus, like what Melissa does with her over-the-hand assistance while Sara writes.
– perhaps multiple points of support around wrist, forearm and elbow

What will the glove look like?
– how many fingers will it have?
– where will the sound be generated?

Who will put it on?
– give Sara as much freedom as possible to move and learn movements on her own

Mobility
Constraints
– no large movements from shoulder or elbow
– no right to left sweeping
Abilities
– point to location
– has frame which she can move her hand within
– can point to throat or stomach when she is very uncomfortable, it takes a lot of concentration and energy on her part.

Thoughts/facts on stylus and how she interacts with iPad and existing app.
– can not hold the stylus so the point of it hits the pad
– holds it in a manner that only allows the side of the tip to brush up against the iPad surface, which does not trigger or land in boxes of app that trigger sound.
