Preliminary testing can be seen with the target user group on a short video at:

The testing indicates the impact and viability of the project.

The estimated costs are realistic as the components are repurposed off the shelf components.

This project fills a gap in what is available as assistive technology. This gap was identified by the Technologists who work at Beaumont College with the target user group.
