In California, in the Los Altos Hills home of Henry and Jane Evans, they watched the interface come to life. Henry, who lost the ability to move his limbs and speak after a stroke nearly 20 years ago, used their technology to feed himself, close the blinds and even grab a canned drink. Henry volunteers frequently to assist with research testing new adaptive devices, and regularly invites researchers to stay with him in his home. Padmanabha offered to stay with his parents, who live nearby, but Henry suggested that it would be more effective for the researchers to spend time living with him.
Henry appreciated that he was able to perform tasks, such as eating, without a computer right in front of his face. His favourite feature of the HAT device was the “assisted driving” feature, in which the technology is able to figure out how to grasp objects without explicit direction from the user. It’s a feature that Henry hopes will be incorporated into other assistive devices.
