Cyrano's picture based interface is great for people who are
just starting out in augmented communication, or for those
who have visually oriented communication needs, like autism
or aphasia.
For many, text or even symbols represent barriers to acquiring
an effective method of communication. Cyrano uses pictures,
taken with an embedded camera. Now, instead of a symbol
or block drawing, you can use a picture of your favorite
restaurant, your favorite park or your best friend. Pictures
can eliminate the need to learn a meaning for a symbol,
and make the process of communicating simple and natural. |
