With the advent of technology and digital inclusion, people of all social classes have been presented to the computing world. However, there is a population that, by physical limitations, has no easy and non-expensive means of interacting with a microcomputer, the motor-disabled individuals. This project presents an assistive technology system, which helps motor-disabled individuals to interact with a personal computer, consisting of a control system that captures the individual movements of the tongue and sends the signals to control the computer. A virtual keyboard, with the ability to complete words based on the user’s vocabulary, is also proposed, improving even more one’s experience. Experiments in real use scenarios are presented to state the feasibility of the system. KeywordsAssistive technology, computer control system, motor-disabled individual.
