Hello-
I have a unique set up that I'm hoping you might have some ideas for. I have a guy who uses his computer as his family's TV, so it is on a wall across from his recliner and the couch. He has been controlling it with a wireless mouse, but that is getting harder.
The distance is what's getting me here. I set him up with a large joystick switch adapted controller, but I can't find a wireless one with the switch adaption options, so I used a 12' usb extension cord to get it to connect. This works decently, but soon he'll need something else.
We talked about an eye gaze SGD and screen-sharing, but he really wants to directly control his computer on the wall. I tried a head mouse with him, but his neck muscles are going, so this doesn't seem like the best choice, plus it was hard to be accurate with the distance.
What am I not thinking of?
Thanks!
