User in front of computer
The computer is controlled with a head mouse for WiVIK (see associated tip), with an extra sip/puff control with 2 optional functions (see associated tip), a joystick (see associated tip) and a microphone (see associated tip). The user installed the extra sip/puff control and the joystick with his brother’s help.
Users comments
With these controls the user can play almost any game on the market. It took a while for the user to improve his skills, but today he is as fast as it is possible to be. However, WiVIK is not fast enough for him. WiVIK only works in Windows. The user would like to have a keyboard that he can control outside Widows, such as in a game or in DOS.
He is also considering getting a joystick that is controlled with the tongue.
