Doug Weber: CMU and Meta Partner to Provide Human-Computer Interactions for Everyone

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, in partnership with Meta, are working to make human-computer interaction available to everyone, including the more than one million people living with paralysis from spinal cord injury.

Thank you, Mr. Weber, CMU, and Meta for partnering and studying this technology. I was one of ten disabled consultants at Meta earlier this year, helping with their designs to make gaming and the Quest headsets more accessible to those of us with limited hand mobility and dexterity. I have been a C5/6 quad (paralyzed from my chest, down) since 2010. I use two pencils to type with and a rollerball mouse. Without the use of my fingers, I am limited to what I can "play" and what apps I can use on my Quest 2 headset. ♿👍💯
