Gerald’s New Communication Device

CU Engineering students pose below with a device they created for Gerald, one of our SmartHome residents. The project is a simple visual communication device. It is an interchangeable laminated picture holder that lights up with a push button controlled by Gerald. The light moves around, and starts and stops as the button is pushed. This is a simple and inexpensive way that Gerald can communicate with others – a great way to increase his communication options, which include his more complex (and costly) computerized communication device.
