AAAI Fall Symposium, 9-11 November 1996
Developing Assistive Technology for People with Disabilities
In each of the four paper sessions (Mobility Aids I and II,
Human-Computer Interaction Aids and Language Aids), we want to focus
on the discussion of open problems and issues in the areas instead of
each individual's work. The working notes for the symposium have been
mailed to all of the participants, so everyone will have had a chance
to read the papers before coming to the symposium. (Of course, if you
have questions on papers for authors, you should feel free to bring
them to the symposium.) In your presentations, if you'd like to give
a demo of your system or show a videotape, we welcome that. We just
ask that you let the papers speak for the details of your work and use
your presentation to open the discussion on where work in assistive
technology (and, particularly, in your area of assistive technology)
should be heading.
