| Free Software: |
Camera Mouse - a program that
enables a person with severe disabilities to control the mouse pointer
on the computer screen just by moving the head. Camera Canvas - image editing software developed for people with severe motor impairments who cannot use their hands to operate a mouse or keyboard. It can be used with the Camera Mouse or other mouse-replacement tools. Camera Canvas enables users to edit images and draw pictures just by moving their heads. Animate! -- a program that enables people with disabilities to create animations of an anthropomorphic figure. |
