Message-ID: Hi all, A guy called Adam Barnett is looking for feedback on his blink-switch system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fuYTe6y2DA His intention is to provide accessibility at a very low cost (he plans on giving it away for free once it's finished and all that it will require is a basic PC and cheap webcam). If anyone wishes to get in touch directly with him, I'm happy to pass on his details (e-mail me via barrie [at] specialeffect.org.uk). Meanwhile, there was an alternative he found b-link http://b-link.sourceforge.net/ but he said it didn't seem too usable.
