摘要

我们提出了一个diy工具包的评估，旨在使护理人员能够为他们的客户创建量身定制的，独特的辅助解决方案。更具体地说，该工具包旨在使职业治疗师能够将日常柔软的物体变成智能设备，可以通过编程识别某些操作。这些智能对象可以用来控制应用程序或玩某些游戏。我们的评估显示，职业治疗师能够在没有技术专家的帮助下使用工具包。治疗师们把坐垫、袜子、可爱的玩具等日常用品改造成治疗用品。他们通过计算来增强它们，并根据客户的需求和愿望进行定制。从我们的评估中，我们还得出了五条指导方针，可以在为辅助技术创建diy工具包时告知其他人。

Empowering Occupational Therapists with a DIY-toolkit for Smart Soft Objects

We present an evaluation of a DIY-toolkit, designed to empower caregivers to create tailor-made, unique assistive solutions for their clients. More specifically, the toolkit aims to enable occupational therapists to turn everyday soft objects into smart devices that can be programmed to recognize certain manipulations. These smart objects can then be used to control applications or to play certain games. Our evaluation reveals that occupational therapists were able to make use of the toolkit without the aid of a technical expert. The therapists hacked everyday objects such as cushions, socks, cuddly toys and repurposed them for therapy. They computationally augmented them and tailored them to clients' needs and desires. From our evaluation, we also derive five guidelines that can inform others when creating DIY-toolkits for assistive technology.
