People who suffer from quadriplegia have almost no control of their limbs and
arms. In most cases, the controlled motor functionality of their body is confined to
their head; mainly the eyes.

New App provides extensibility to add new application to the Application Settings
Pattern recognizer can be used to extend the plugin for any new tags introduced in the HTML technology.
More features can be added to the post processor block to enhance browser usability
Internationalization support can be provided to the virtual keyboard by adding the data set to the Dictionary repository.
Breathes in a fresh air of hope and enthusiasm. A Quadriplegic’s routine need not be confined to
sitting on the wheel chair anymore. Enables the person to use a computer! Kids affected by Quadriplegia can use this as gaming
simulation as well as a learning tool. The quadriplegic will find the life being filled with
activities. Former technicians/artists/sportsmen can get
updates in their field or blog. Who knows, they might start giving fantastic
ideas in their field of expertise using these tools!!
