    This research concerns the design and development of an assistive system based on eye tracking, which can be used to improve the quality of life of disabled patients. With the use of their eye movement, whose function is not affected by their illness, patients are capable of communicating with and sending notifications to caretakers, controlling various appliances, including wheelchairs. The designed system is divided into two subsystems: Stationary and mobile assistive systems. Both systems provide a graphic user interface (GUI) that is used to link the eye tracker with the appliance control. There are six GUI pages for the stationary assistive system and seven for the mobile assistive system. GUI pages for the stationary assistive system include the home page, smart appliance page, eye-controlled television page, eye-controlled air conditional page, i-speak page and entertainment page. GUI pages for the mobile assistive system are similar to the GUI pages for the stationary assistive system, with the additional eye-controlled wheelchair page. To provide hand-free secure access, an authentication based on facial landmarks is developed. The operational test of the proposed assistive system provides successful and promising results.

    Purpose.Most Thai people like to purchase food at local markets; however, the accessibility to local markets by people with disabilities may be limited. The objective of this work was to develop a prototype of an accessible market for people with disabilities in Thailand, by performing a case study on a selected market in which people with disabilities often go. Methods. Representative players participated in this study: a market owner, food stall owners, assistive technology specialists, general customers, and customers with disabilities. Data were collected by observing environmental features in the market, and by interviewing the participants. Results.The results indicated that people with disabilities could not access the market because of lack of suitable parking zone, lack of ramps, walkways with obstacles, unsuitable public restrooms, the lack of zoned area for the food court and of standards for food stalls. Conclusion.After analysis of the data, a prototype was designed for parking spaces, ramps, walkways, public restroom, food court, and food stalls to make the market accessible. © 2010 Informa UK Ltd.

    Most Thai people like to purchase food at local markets; however, research studies on accessibility to local markets by people with disabilities were still limited. The objective of this study was to develop a prototype of an accessible market for people with disabilities in Thailand by a selected market where people with disabilities often go as a case study. Participants in this study consisted of a market owner, food stall owners, assistive technology specialists, general customers, and customers with disabilities. Data were collected by observing environmental features in the market and interviewing several participants. Major findings indicated that people with disabilities could not access the market because of lack of accessible parking zone for people with disabilities, no ramps, walkways with obstacles, unsuitable public restrooms, no zoned area for the food court, and no standards for food stalls. All inaccessible data were analyzed and a prototype for parking spaces, ramps, walkways, public restroom, food court, and food stalls were designed to make the market accessible. © ACM 2009.
