Su il ripiano, su il morale! Is an open source project licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
The project consists of a portable and adjustable tray that will allow Anita to keep a better posture while playing with her iPad.
The elbow holders will prevent her to keep her arms far too back.
A joystick modification will allow better grip and so enable more freedom and better mobility with the wheelchair.
With a GLIFO, we are trying to allow Anita to draw, activity that she likes a lot but that she cannot today enjoy do due to her tighten hand.
The project stems from a collaboration between the Hackabilty association (the first hackathon grouping both makers and people with disabilities) and the Hackability@PoliTo students team. The collaboration aims at co-design with disabled people tools that will improve their everyday life and foster their participation to active society.
