Other members of Group: Massimiliano Giustizieri, Luca Quaranta. Teachers:  Prof. Giovanni Semeraro, Dott. Pasquale Lops.
A.S.S.I.S.T.E.D. is part of my University Degree Thesi "Realizzazione di servizi di supporto a utenti diversamente abili" (Implementation of support services to users with disabilities)


From July 2007, ASSITED has become a Project Research and Development of Exhicon ICT srl. The system has thus been re-engineered has led to the development of Assistive Suite, a richer and more stable version of ASSISTED.

A.S.S.I.S.T.E.D. is a framework developed in JAVA. Its goal is greater integration of assistive technology to support the use of a computer by a user with motor disabilities, which controls the pointer through a Head-Tracking.

The user who uses the system should never do click because the system provides an interface clickless, with buttons that are activated after a pause of a certain time interval customizable, with a parameterised width of the stop too.

 

ASSISTED capacities are:
  • Support the movement of the pointer
  • No need to click
  • Menu for the simulation of the events of the mouse
  • Context menu
  • Virtual keyboard with word prediction
  • Magnifier
  • Control Panel Feature

Also it provides 3 simple add-on applications:
  • Mp3 Reader
  • Image View
  • Word Processor
