Voice controlled wheelchair, thanks to UMPC
Written by Bjorn Stromberg Tuesday, 17 July 2007 youube vid This powered wheelchair is equipped with a UMPC which interprets voice commands and controls the motion of the wheelchair. The UMPC has a customized GUI on it for controlling the chair as well. On top of controlling the wheelchair, the UMPC can also be used as a regular computer for internet access, productivity or entertainment. Think about the development costs that Think-a-Move has saved thanks to this form factor. Previously, to get a controller this size they'd have to source a custom embedded solution that in the end may not even have all of the capabilities of the UMPC. I think it's amazing that we are finding so many novel uses for the UMPC as it begins to enter more and more into mainstream consciousness. http://www.ultramobilelife.com/index...sk=view&id=380
