INOVATELL (Innovative Touch less Technologies in Lifelong Learning for people with severe disabilities)

Main objectives: Within this project, the partners will develop and implement a technological solution that will help people with limited hands functionality to participate in lifelong learning process by remotely controlling specialised software using only hand or head functions; transfer and localize integrated INOVATELL technological solution as the touchless hand and head gesture controlled learning tool; transfer and supplement learning content to match the practical needs of the target group; create all the necessary documentation describing transfer methodologies and technology and make these materials readily available on the web.

Relevance to ENTELIS: This project promotes the acquisition of digital skills and abilities to make effective use of assistive technology for the independence and resulting empowerment of people with disabilities.

New knowledge/experience provided: The project will provide tools – technological and training content – in order to make ICT learning accessible and to eliminate technological barriers to develop ICT skills. The touchless technology is a useful tool to eliminate the limitations of upper limbs and hand functionality. It will be used only the hand and head small movements to access the computer or tablet.
