This tutorial is designed for: 1. End users who have acquired an ALVA Braille Controller with Feature Pack, and… 2. Sighted and vision impaired adaptive technology trainers who have been given the task of providing instruction on the set-up and usage of the ALVA Braille Controller. This tutorial assumes that the reader has a fundamental understanding of: 1. Refreshable Braille terminals and stand-alone note takers. 2. The Windows Desktop, Windows Mobile, and Symbian operating systems. 3. The function of a desktop and mobile screen reader. 4. The relationship between a screenreader and a refreshable Braille Terminal. While explanations will be provided, and references will be made to each of these afore- mentioned topics, this tutorial will focus specifically on how the ALVA Braille Controller behaves and performs as a stand-alone unit, when connected to a PC, and when interacting with today’s accessible Mobile devices. It has been written from the perspective of a user who has both the ALVA Braille Controller and its Feature Pack, which provides audio output and Braille input capabilities. This guide is divided into four sections of lessons with defined objectives, procedures for completing these objectives, and criteria for successful task completion outlined by each objective. Once a user or trainer has completed all four subsets of lessons, they should be well-equipped to maximize their utilization of this Braille Controller in each of their respective educational, employment, and home or community environments. The first section focuses on the ALVA as a stand-alone unit and, along with providing an orientation to the unit, instructs the user as to how to customize their Controller settings to their personal preferences. The second section provides detailed instruction on using the Feature Pack’s built-in notetaker to create and edit documents, share them with a PC, and retrieve information from the PC to review on the Feature Pack, when it is disconnected from the PC. The third section addresses the ALVA Braille Controller’s USB and Bluetooth connections to a Windows PC. Attention is given to initially connecting and setting up the ALVA with the PC. Also, a review of today’s screen readers and how the ALVA performs with these screen readers is addressed. The fourth and final section focuses on the ALVA Braille Controller and today’s emerging Accessible Mobile Technologies. Emphasis will be placed on connecting and using the ALVA Braille Controller via a Bluetooth connection to MobileSpeak-equipped Mobile devices. Page 3 of 50 In Touch With ALVA: A Guide to Unleashing the Power of your ALVA Braille Controller The following three points define what the ALVA Braille Controller is: 1. A stand-alone note taking device designed to fulfill the role that a pen and notepad fills for a sighted individual. 2. A PC companion with the ability to share files with, and provide tactile access to, the often complex graphical Windows environment. 3. A means by which individuals might successfully complete many of today’s mobile tasks using a mainstream mobile device rather than a traditional, proprietary note taking solution. It is our hope that you will find these lessons valuable and informative, and that they will serve to assist you in getting the greatest benefit possible out of your ALVA Braille Controller. For questions, suggestions, and/or comments, please e-mail training@flying- blind.com. Page 4 of 50 In Touch With ALVA: A Guide to Unleashing the Power of your ALVA Braille Controller LESSON 1: THE ALVA BRAILLE CONTROLLER AS A STAND-ALONE DEVICE This Lesson is devoted to providing instruction on: 1. Familiarization 2. Customizing internal menu settings. 3. Utilizing the “Notes” feature of the ALVA Braille Controller. Please ensure that all of the accessories that shipped with the ALVA Braille Controller are present, and that the unit is fully charged. A list of the contents of the ALVA Braille Controller’s “ship-kit” can be found in The ALVA Manual, Section 1.2 ALVA BC640 package contents. This manual is provided in both print and electronic formats on compact disk. Lesson 1.1: Orientation To The ALVA Braille Controller’s Physical Layout Objective: The user will be able to independently identify the various physical components of the ALVA Braille Controller which will serve as a foundation for completing subsequent lessons. Before beginning, the user should place the ALVA Braille Controller on a flat surface in front of them, with the thumb-keys of the unit being the closest in proximity to the user. This lesson is designed to quickly orient the user to the ALVA Braille Controller. For a more thorough orientation, please consult the ALVA Braille Controller User Manual located on your product CD. Procedure: 1. The Braille Controller has two components - the base unit, and the optional feature pack. • The base unit houses the Braille display and internal memory for storage of system files, internal firmware, and storage face, where files from a PC can be copied and accessed when the Controller is connected to another PC. • The Optional Feature Pack has a Perkins-style Braille keyboard, audio speakers, a built-in microphone, connectors for an external Microphone and headphones, and additional flash memory for the Feature Pack’s internal note taker. • The optional Feature Pack is mounted to the back edge of the Controller’s base unit, a visual and tactile line can be detected below the Feature Pack’s spacebar, which defines where these two components are mounted. Page 5 of 50 In Touch With ALVA: A Guide to Unleashing the Power of your ALVA Braille Controller • It will be noted here, one last time, that all references to the ALVA Braille Controller throughout this Guide will assume that the Feature Pack has been included with the unit’s base station. 2. Continue by exploring the perimeter of the ALVA Braille Controller. • The volume switch on the Feature Pack is located toward the rear of the right edge of the unit - this adjusts the audio output of the feature pack and mutes / enables the audio output. • Moving toward the front of the unit, the on / off switch powers the unit on and off. • Along the front edge of the unit are five “Front Panel” keys - four rectangular keys and one smaller key located in the middle of the four longer keys. All five of these keys’ functionality are defined by the screen reading application being used. However, the outer two “thumb-keys” are often assigned to “panning” or moving the Braille display one display length to either the right or left while the innermost “thumb-keys” are assigned to moving up and down through a specific application, list view, or menu. The middle button’s primary function is to route the reader back to the active cursor. • Moving counter-clockwise along the front left edge, there is a jack for the unit’s AC Power Supply, a mini USB jack for connecting to a PC, and an additional jack for future feature considerations not available at this time. The left edge of the Feature Pack has a microphone jack located closer to the base unit with an earphone jack located directly behind it toward the back edge of the Feature Pack. 3. Conclude by examining the top surface of the ALVA Braille Controller: • From the front edge of the unit, locate the group of nine keys behind the thumb-keys on the top surface.

    The future of human-computer interaction: overview of input devices Fabrizio Fornari School of Computer Science H´ask´olinn´ıReykjav´ık- Reykjav´ıkUniversity Reykjav´ık,Iceland November, 2012 Abstract We are in 2012 and we are still using the mouse and the keyboard to interact with a computer. We have seen a lot of changes in the world of Computer Science, relating to: performance, design and the way we interact with the computer. Differ- ent input devices have been developed around the computer, starting from the most recent touchscreens, continuing with webcams, microphones, and arriving to the oldest mice and keyboards. The aim of this research is to let the reader imagine a new way to interact with the computer. To reach our purpose, we introduce advanced technologies such as: Speech and Voice Recognition, Electronic Perception, Eye Tracking and Brain Computer In- terfaces. We propose examples of the cited technologies that may change the paradigm that saw, until now, keyboard and mouse as leaders of the input devices. 1 1 Introduction From the computer's birth1, we saw a lot of changes in the world of Com- puter Science. Changes relating to: performance, design and human-computer interaction [49]. A few years ago, the words \input device" evoked in our mind only two specific objects: the keyboard and the mouse - the main instruments used to provide data to a personal computer. Keyboard and mouse are, in fact, two of the first input devices in the history of computer. Nowadays, with the evolution of computers, we have a large set of input de- vices that changed the way we interact with the computer.

  • I Installed the Drivers for My Thrustmaster Force Feedback Game Controller, and Even Though the Controls Are Working Properly, I Cannot Get Any Effect in My Games
    I installed the drivers for my Thrustmaster Force Feedback game controller, and even though the controls are working properly, I cannot get any effect in my games. What is wrong? Concerning games: • First, make sure that the game you are playing supports force feedback controllers and that you have installed the latest update (patch) available. The game support web site can also provide information about known issues and hardware compatibility. • If the game support force feedback controllers, be certain that all options have been enabled within the game configuration options (see the game manual for more details) Test your game controller The Thrustmaster Force Feedback testing application can be used in order to test the force feedback functionalities of your accessories. Note: The test will only work if your accessory is recognized as the preferred or first game controller. To prevent any confusion, simply disconnect any other game controllers from the computer. If using the test failed to provide any force feedback effects, it means that the drivers haven’t been installed properly. Verify the driver installation It’s important to understand a few notions about your accessory in order to verify that it is installed correctly. Your controller, be it a gamepad, a joystick or a wheel, is fully compliant with the Human Interface Device specifications, and was developed in such a way that it will be recognize under the Microsoft Operating systems (Windows 98 SE, Me, 2000 and Windows XP) as a "HID compliant Game Device". The drivers provided by Microsoft will ensure you a perfect compatibility with any games using DirectX technology (100% of today's games!).
