  3. Archimedes Hawaii • Located in a restored, historic firehouse in Honolulu

  4. Archimedes Foundation • Not For Profit Corporation in California.

  5. Archimedes Foundation Supporting the Archimedes Project The Archimedes Project is researching and developing emancipating technologies that benefit people with diminished capacity due to disabilities or aging.

  6. Archimedes Reorganization Archimedes Hawaii – Opening September 1, 2003 • Archimedes Hawaii is being established at the the ManoaCampus of the University of Hawaii • Archimedes Hawaii will be the central coordinator for Archimedes research activities Archimedes Stanford • Activities at Archimedes Stanford will be scaled back but continue at CSLI in a collaborating role with Archimedes Hawaii

  7. Collaborating with Industry Visiting Research Associates (VRAs) • Engineers and Programmers from Industry spend a period of six months to two years working at Archimedes. • Learn about ITAS and IMNIP • Develop accessibility solutions and new User Interfaces for parent company • May be based at Archimedes Hawaii or Archimedes Stanford

  8. Summer 2004 Access Factory • Access Factory 2002, held at Stanford, focused on NIP and ITAS was very successful – two patents • Twenty participants from 9 countries • Access Factory 2004 will be held in Hawaii and will focus on IDEAL Classroom technology and learning materials • People interested in participating should contact Neil Scott for details ngscott@hawaii.com

  9. Design • As designers, we like to think that we can analyze a problem and design a solution based on solid engineering knowledge about the subject area

  10. In his television series Connections, James Burke has shown many discoveries came right out of left field because someone recognized a connection between two very different sets of knowledge. • Finding solutions to the problems faced by people with disabilities is no exception.

  11. Serendipity • Throughout history, many of the important inventions and advances have been the result of remarkable serendipity.

  12. Solutions • We can find workable solutions by looking at what has already been done in the disability field • To find great solutions we must look further a-field.
