Perspectives is the newsletter of the Stanford
course, Perspectives in Assistive Technology.
This issue invites you to attend the final student team
project presentations.
Perspectives in Assistive
Technology is a Winter Quarter Stanford course in its ninth season
that explores the design, development, and use of assistive technology that
benefits people with disabilities and older adults. It consists of semi-weekly
classroom discussions; lectures by notable professionals,
clinicians, and assistive technology users; tours of local medical,
clinical, and engineering facilities; and an assistive technology faire.
Much more information can be found on the course
website.

Final Student Team Project
Presentations

Abstract: This
quarter eight student teams have been addressing problems experienced by
individuals with disabilities or older adults and have been working to
research, brainstorm, design, fabricate, and test a prototype device or
software to meet the identified problem. Each project team will give a formal
presentation detailing their project efforts. Please note that this was a
seven-week team effort and the students' prototypes are not intended to
represent commercial offerings. |
