VoCreate
Syed Osama Hussain
A drawing application that empowers artists and designers with motor impairments to draw with their voice.
Drawing is an essential form of communication of ideas and expressing one's self. However, current drawing tools exclude people who do not have accurate control over their hands or have no hands. People with such motor impairments have to use costly assistive tools to use tools designed for a differently abled body.
VoCreate is a voice-operated drawing application that allows artists and designers with arm or hand impairments or amputees to draw within weeks of trauma using voice.
Each interaction in VoCreate is crafted to account for the limitations of voice-operated systems and the critical respiratory capacity of the users, to enable drawing for long periods with minimum resistance. By envisioning a novel method of drawing, people with such trauma can start drawing their world again.
