Abstract
A microcomputer-based environmental control and communication system for the severely disabled has been developed. By puffing and sipping on a tube the user can store messages in computer memory and control a number of peripheral devices. A scanning method of operation is employed in which characters are selected for message building or control purposes from lists displayed on a CRT. An interface system is presently being developed to allow the computer to control peripheral devices by transmitting coded signals over the power mains.Keywords
