Hi,

I'm an electrical engineer studying at the University of Colorado
at Colorado Springs. I'm trying to research handicapped tools that
are available and that are needed. My school has a requirement for
graduating engineers to design and realize a significant project to
qualify for graduation. There was a recent public challenge by
M.I.T. students for all engineers to contribute to handicapped
tools (re: Talking Hand et. al.).

I would like to survey those who know best what is *really* needed.
I know there are controversies about existing products, but I
haven't heard what hardware tools (that don't exist) are needed. My
limited background also keeps me from knowing what tools do exist.

If anyone would like to share their knowledge, expertise or needs,
please respond publicly on the echo or privately by e-mail to me. I
will summarize if the response demands.

Remember, anything that can be dreamed can be realized.

                                                Steve
