Abstract

In this paper we present the design of an image capturing device for persons with aphasia. The early concepts were validated with one speech therapist and the usability of the camera was tested with one aphasic person. Our semi-autonomous hand-held camera, tapered to meet specific interaction and ergonomic needs of expressive aphasics. This camera is able to capture daily experiences by creating photographs that receives significant, automatically added tags. We present the design case study with early evaluation results by proxy users.
