Resumen
Alternative and augmentative communications encapsulates the use of
technology to provide communication means for people with some sort of disability.
In this paper, we present a prototype that provides both pictographic and
alphabetic options to allow communication. Our system was originally designed for
people that suffer physical disabilities and are not able to move their body. To allow
interaction we provide an eye gazed based interaction. Our system was evaluated
with an experienced test subject, because the system requires training to be used.
However, evaluations results demonstrated that a skilled user requires less than two
seconds (average) to select a pictogram or letter (i.e., in less than a minute, a 30
characters long phrase or up to two semantically correct sentences using pictograms
can be produced).
