abstract = "Electronic apppliances are increasingly a part of our
everyday lives. In particular, mobile devices, with
their reduced dimensions with power rivaling desktop
computers, have substantially augmented our communication
abilities offering instant availability, anywhere,
to everyone. These devices have become essential
for human communication but also include a
more comprehensive tool set to support productivity
and leisure applications.
However, the many applications commonly available
are not adapted to people with special needs.
Rather, most popular devices are targeted at teenagers
or young adults with excellent eyesight and coordination.
What is worse, most of the commonly used assistive
control interfaces are not available in a mobile environment
where user’s position, accommodation and
capacities can vary even widely.
To try and address people with special needs new
approaches and techniques are sorely needed. This
paper presents a control interface to allow tetraplegic
users to interact with electronic devices. Our method
uses myographic information (Electromyography or
EMG) collected from residually controlled body areas.
User evaluations validate electromyography as a daily
wearable interface. In particular our results show that
EMG can be used even in mobility contexts."
