Although computerized assistive devices for most handicaps are becoming more widely available, one major drawback is that users must currently provide customized interfaces for every computer system they use. In addition to specialized input and output devices, such assistive devices also frequently require customized software. This paper proposes an alternative solution, by providing a customized interface (both hardware and controlling software) on a laptop computer that is then used to control standard software on any other host computer. In this way, the user can carry their specialized interface to essentially any general computer, and can interact with any standard software supported on the host. The laptop system becomes a virtual keyboard to the host machine.
