What's next?



As a frequent reader of Gizmodo.com, I'm often pouring over the site looking for potential technology that would be appropriate for people with disabilities. Besides the enjoyment of looking over (fill in the blank) made of legos and funny shaped USB powered gadgets, I've come to appreciate the sheer enormity of this whole tech scene.

From time to time, I'll highlight something from this and other sites and give the assistive tech bent on it.

The above picture is of a stair climbing robot developed by Japanese engineers... Looks like something out of a movie. Would be interesting to see how exactly a person with a disability could independently transfer in and out of this chair.
