Carol Murota, we've been asked to look into the possibility of adapting our software to determine how many people are in an elevator. (part of a security system, ie. the number of cards read by the turnstile must match the number in the elevator, or it wont run). but moreover, I find the question regarding handicapped persons intriguing. over the years we have been approached by various individuals asking if we have applied our systems to help handicapped persons. in theory, it offers a highly flexible way to essentially amplify movt. while translating it to other media. i would love to work with someone interested in developing applications. if you are not familiar with our stuff, please visit our web site. and, in any case, please let me know what you find out. with friendly regards, Robert Wechsler PS we plan to be in the bay area april 2003.

I am particularly interested in the potential for translating using motion sensors to technology to help the visually impaired...but there are probably many more possible applications. thanks, -- Carol Murota Lecturer, S.O.E.
