Colibri is a head-mouse that can connect to any computer or smartphone over bluetooth. Colibri was designed to allow people with little or no control of their hands and arms (typically patients with tretraplegia, but can be extended to users suffering from other degrees of spinal cord injury, stroke, spinal muscular atrophy, cerebral palsy, congenital malformation and others). Colibri is intended for any person with restricted movement of the hands and arms, as long as they preserve neurotypical cognitive level and good voluntary control of the head movements. It is manufactured by the Brazilian company TIX Systems, which specialises in the development of accessibility products.
The PiMu musical whiteboard was invented by the educator Vitor Moreira, who realized that teaching music could be more fun and that children could be protagonists in the composition process. The PiMu works through a system of closing circuits, in which paint, modelling clay or human touch can be the connecting agents. It has 24 musical points scattered on its surface. The circuits are closed by touching one of the points and border simultaneously. Once a circuit is closed, an integrated computer will launch the audio clip associated with that pin. Multiple audio clips with instrument and drum loops can play simultaneously allowing children to easily create music parts.
