An open-source extension to the p5.js creative coding platform to allow for easy access to HTML5 Audio Speech Synthesis and WebKit Speech Recognition.
Kinect + Stroke Rehab
Game Development
A project with NYU’s Hospital for Joint Disease that incorporates the Microsoft Kinect’s joint detection in game-play developed from adapted stroke rehab exercises.
Code Learning
Processing Study
A study of learning and coding for people with low-vision and blindness. This project incorporates an analysis of existing code learning platforms, stakeholder/expert interviews and a proposed accessibility redesign of Processing.org and P5JS.org learning modules and IDEs.
/r/ sounds
Software Development
Researchers at the Byun Lab at NYU are studying the way biofeedback–in this case real-time visual feedback about a user’s vocalizations–can help users correct atypical speech patterns that are otherwise difficult to perceive. Students in the Ability Lab are working with the Byun Lab to create an app that give this real-time biofeedback.
Wheelchair Umbrella
Product Design
NYU graduate students in collaboration with clients at United Cerebral Palsy of New York City are designing a fully accessible and collapsable umbrella for motorized wheelchair users—a product which is not already available on the market, despite an obvious and frequently cited need for it.
Music for motor skills
Software Development
In collaboration with the Adaptive Design Association, NYU graduate students developed a music player that incentivizes practicing fine motor skills. Information about how to download the app and detailed DIY instructions can be found on Instructables.
Sensory Steps
Game Development
In collaboration with the auditory oral school of NY, graduate students are developing elements for a sensory room and music room for young children. The current project under development is a game to help the children with cochlear implants develop balance. The game is being created using Unity and Kinect.
GyroCafe
Product Deign
Inspired by a patient, students began designing a tray that attaches to a walker and doesn’t tip out food.
Monkey Vine
iOS Development, UI / UX Design, Strategy
This computer game was designed to help young students (age 7-10) develop their working memory.
