Introducing Two Innovative Assistive Technology Projects

​

In our latest video, we're excited to showcase two homemade assistive technology projects that are both practical and accessible to a wide range of users.

​

The first project features a touch sensor that activates a 3.5mm switch, providing a simple yet effective way for individuals with limited mobility to interact with electronic devices. This touch sensor utilizes a capacitance sensor, which detects changes in electrical capacitance when touched, making it highly responsive and reliable. Not only does this technology offer a seamless user experience, but its sleek and modern design also adds a touch of sophistication to any setup.

​

In the same video, we introduce a second project—a cheap muscle sensor designed specifically for individuals with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) or other neuromuscular disorders. This muscle sensor is both affordable and easy to build, making it accessible to users who may not have access to expensive medical equipment. By detecting muscle movements and converting them into electrical signals, this sensor enables individuals with limited muscle control to interact with electronic devices and control their environment with ease.

​

Both of these projects are homemade and require no programming knowledge, making them accessible to DIY enthusiasts and hobbyists alike. With their practical applications and user-friendly designs, these assistive technology projects have the potential to greatly improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, empowering them to live more independently and comfortably.
