[Athen] classroom cctv & foot mouse

[normajean.brand]

Howard,

We've had great success with both the Flipper and Acrobat (not to be
confused with Adobe Acrobat, although why this company chose Acrobat
when Adobe has almost always been known as that Acrobat company I'll
never know...). Both V.I. students and employees enjoy either the
Flipper or Acrobat but the Acrobat LCD seems to be gaining popularity
because of the greater flexibility. There are a couple of different
versions of the Acrobat.

 

Not sure who your vendor is in Colorado, but you can see the information
for the adaptive equipment at 

www.christal-vision.com (our vendor here in Texas). Hope this helps.

 

Regards,

NJ

Subject: [Athen] classroom cctv & foot mouse

 

First of all, thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the foot
mouse. The student I'm working with decided to go with the slipper
mouse:

 

http://www.bilila.com/foot_mouse_slipper_mouse (Also available at
Enablemart)

 

It looks like a better design than the hands-free mouse. I'll let you
know how it works for the student.

 

On another matter, I'm looking for a device that would be used in the
classroom by a low vision user to view the blackboard, powerpoint, etc.
I thought there was a device with a "beta" in the title which looked
like a portable camcorder. It could also be connected to a laptop.
Perhaps it no longer exists. I found the ClearNote and PCMate which seem
to work similarly. Anyone have experience with these devices?

 

Thanks,

Howard
